Which side of the plane to sit from Kaunas International Airport (Kaunas) to Ireland West Knock Airport (Connaught)?
Left Side of the Plane
The Left Side offers a superior sequence of landmarks, including the stunning Baltic coastline, the infrastructure of the Netherlands, and a prime view of Dublin's skyline and the Wicklow Mountains during the final approach into Ireland.
Kaunas Confluence
Right after takeoff, see the historic confluence of the Nemunas and Neris rivers in Kaunas Old Town.
Curonian Spit
The unique, narrow UNESCO-listed sand dune spit separating the Baltic Sea from the Curonian Lagoon.
Kiel Canal
The world's most frequented artificial waterway, cutting through Northern Germany's Schleswig-Holstein.
The Wadden Sea
The intricate patterns of the Dutch and German intertidal mudflats and the Frisian Islands.
Dublin Skyline
As you cross the Irish Sea, the entire Dublin Bay and city center are visible before turning toward Knock.
Wicklow Mountains
The rolling green peaks of the 'Garden of Ireland' dominate the southern horizon upon landfall.
Sit on the left for the best morning light during westbound flights, avoiding the glare of the southern sun. This side is particularly spectacular during the descent over Ireland, where you can see the contrast between the Irish Sea and the inland greenery. If flying in winter, look for the snow-capped peaks of the Wicklow Mountains.
Swedish Islands
Distant views of Gotland and รland in the Baltic Sea, known for their limestone cliffs and windmills.
Jutland Peninsula
The sweeping western coastline of Denmark, featuring vast sandy beaches and coastal lagoons.
North Sea Wind Farms
Massive offshore renewable energy clusters visible as white dots against the dark sea.
The Lake District
The rugged mountains and glacial lakes of Cumbria in Northwest England are often visible in clear weather.
Isle of Man
The distinctive silhouette of Snaefell mountain rising from the center of the Irish Sea.
Donegal Bay
The dramatic, jagged Atlantic coastline of Northwest Ireland during the final approach phase.
The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights, as it captures the golden hour light reflecting off the North Sea and the English Lake District. Keep your camera ready for the final 15 minutes of the flight when the rugged terrain of the Nephin Beg Range and the North Atlantic coast comes into view.
