Which side of the plane to sit from Kerry Airport (Kerry) to Frankfurt-Hahn Airport (Hahn)?

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the rugged Kerry mountains at departure and the winding Moselle River valley with its iconic vineyards during the final approach into Hahn.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
⛰️

Macgillycuddy's Reeks

Spectacular views of Ireland's highest mountains, including Carrauntoohil, immediately after takeoff.

🏖️

The Jurassic Coast

Look down for the white cliffs and sandy beaches of the southern English coastline.

🎡

Isle of Wight

The distinct diamond shape of the island and the Solent are frequently visible through the clouds.

🌲

Ardennes Forest

A vast expanse of rolling green hills and deep valleys covering the border regions of Belgium and Luxembourg.

🍷

Moselle River Loops

Breathtaking views of the winding Moselle River and its world-famous terraced vineyards just before landing.

The right side is the winner for the approach; the Moselle Valley is one of Europe's most scenic landing corridors. Sit behind the wing to ensure your view of the steep river bends and hillside castles isn't obstructed.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🇮🇪

Dublin & Wicklow Mountains

A view across the Irish interior toward the granite peaks of Wicklow and the sprawling Dublin coastline.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Snowdonia & South Wales

Distant views of the Welsh peaks and the industrial heritage of the South Wales valleys.

🏙️

Greater London

On a clear day, the flight path often passes just north enough to see the London skyline and the Thames.

🇧🇪

Brussels Cityscape

The dense urban center of Belgium is often visible as the flight crosses into mainland Europe.

🏰

Rhine Valley North

The northern stretch of the Rhine river valley appearing as you begin the descent into Germany.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the southern sun. It offers better views of the major metropolitan areas like London and Brussels if the pilot takes a more northerly airway.
