Which side of the plane to sit from Kaunas International Airport (Kaunas) to Dublin Airport (Dublin)?

Our Recommendation
8.2

Left Side of the Plane

The Left Side (Port) offers a superior variety of scenery, including the historic center of Kaunas upon departure, the diverse coastline of the Netherlands, and the rugged peaks of Snowdonia in Wales before crossing the Irish Sea.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🏰

Kaunas Old Town

Aerial views of the junction of the Nemunas and Neris rivers and the historic Kaunas Castle shortly after takeoff.

🏖️

Hel Peninsula

The uniquely long and narrow sandbar off the coast of Poland stretching into the Baltic Sea.

🚲

Dutch Coastline

Clear views of the North Sea dikes, the Hook of Holland, and the intricate canal networks near Amsterdam.

🎡

Greater London

On southern flight corridors, distant views of the London skyline and the winding River Thames.

🏔️

Snowdonia National Park

The dramatic mountain ranges and glacial landforms of North Wales as the flight approaches the Irish Sea.

⛰️

Wicklow Mountains

Lush green landscapes of the 'Garden of Ireland' visible during the southern approach into Dublin.

Opt for a morning flight for the best lighting on the European mainland features. During the winter, the Welsh mountains are often snow-capped, providing stunning contrast. Look for the distinct industrial ports of the Netherlands mid-flight.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
🌊

Baltic Sea Panorama

Expansive views of the deep blue Baltic Sea and the busy shipping lanes connecting Eastern Europe.

🚢

Kiel Canal & North Germany

The engineering marvel of the canal connecting the North Sea to the Baltic, plus views of the Hamburg port area.

🌬️

Offshore Wind Farms

Massive arrays of wind turbines dotting the North Sea between Germany and the United Kingdom.

🌄

Peak District

The rolling hills and moors of Northern England, including the Manchester and Liverpool metropolitan areas.

🏘️

Howth Head

The iconic peninsula guarding Dublin Bay, featuring steep cliffs and the Baily Lighthouse.

🇮🇪

Dublin Bay

The classic approach view of the Poolbeg Chimneys and the sweeping curve of the Irish capital's coastline.

The right side is ideal for the final descent into Dublin Airport, especially if landing on Runway 28, as it offers the best views of Howth and the Dublin Northside. In the late afternoon, this side experiences significant glare, so bring sunglasses.
