KIV → DUB
Which side of the plane to sit from Chişinău International Airport (Chisinau) to Dublin Airport (Dublin)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a more scenic crossing over the southern arc of the Carpathian Mountains and provides distant but stunning views of the Alps and the urban sprawl of London during the final approach.
Southern Carpathians
Deep valleys and rugged peaks of the Romanian mountain range shortly after takeoff.
Bavarian & Austrian Alps
Distant views of the snow-capped Alpine range to the south as you transit over Germany.
Rhine River Valley
The winding Rhine river and its historic surrounding vineyards near Frankfurt.
Greater London
Clear views of the Thames estuary and London's southern suburbs during the westward transit.
Irish Sea
The expansive blue crossing between the Welsh coast and the final descent into Ireland.
On a clear morning flight, the sun will be behind you or to the left; keep your window shade down initially to avoid glare. For the best views of the Carpathian Mountains, watch out within the first 40 minutes of flight. If landing towards the west at DUB, the left side often sees the Dublin Mountains.
Transylvanian Forests
Lush green landscapes of northern Romania and the Hungarian border region.
Prague and Central Europe
Aerial views of major European urban centers if the flight path tracks slightly north.
Benelux Coastline
The intricate network of canals and ports along the Dutch and Belgian shores.
Snowdonia National Park
The dramatic mountains and peaks of North Wales as you approach the Irish Sea.
Dublin Bay
A beautiful sweep of the Irish coast and Howth Head during the final approach maneuvers.
The right side is ideal for evening flights to catch the sunset as you travel westward. It also offers a better perspective of the North Sea coastline. During landing, if the aircraft approaches from the north, you will get a fantastic view of the Howth peninsula.
