KTW β DUB
Which side of the plane to sit from Katowice International Airport (Katowice) to Dublin Airport (Dublin)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a superior vantage point for the historic Polish cityscapes, the dramatic skyscrapers of Frankfurt, the rolling green hills of the Welsh countryside, and the scenic Wicklow Mountains during the final approach into Dublin.
WrocΕaw Views
Aerial view of the 'Venice of Poland' with its numerous bridges and islands on the Odra River shortly after takeoff.
Frankfurt Skyline
Distant views of 'Mainhattan', the only European city with a significant cluster of skyscrapers.
Snowdonia National Park
The rugged peaks and valleys of North Wales as the flight traverses the UK mainland toward the Irish Sea.
St George's Channel
Clear views of the blue waters separating Wales and Ireland before the final descent sequence.
Wicklow Mountains
Lush green peaks and the Powerscourt area visible as the aircraft banks for its final approach into Dublin.
Choose a window seat on the left for the best lighting, as the sun will be behind you or to the side for most of the westward journey. During the final descent, the left side usually offers the best view of the Dublin mountains and the city's southern suburbs. Late afternoon flights are particularly scenic as the light hits the Welsh mountains.
The Ruhr Valley
A massive industrial landscape featuring the dense urban sprawl of Dortmund, Essen, and the Rhine River.
Port of Rotterdam
The scale of Europe's largest seaport and the complex engineering of the Dutch coastline and flood barriers.
Liverpool & Manchester
Clear views of the iconic Mersey estuary and the major urban centers of the English North West.
Howth Head
The dramatic rocky peninsula and lighthouse marking the northern entrance to Dublin Bay during arrival.
Dutch Frisian Islands
Unique sandbanks and island chains visible along the northern edge of the Netherlands if the flight path is northerly.
The right side is excellent for viewing the intricate geography of the Dutch coast and the industrial heart of Germany. If Dublin is using Runway 28 for landings (the most common), the right side offers a spectacular view of the coastline and Howth Head. Keep an eye out for wind farms in the North Sea.
