LTNKIR

Which side of the plane to sit from London Luton Airport (London) to Kerry Airport (Kerry)?

Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides a superior view of the rugged southern Irish coastline and the dramatic peaks of Macgillycuddy's Reeks during the final descent into Kerry.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🌳

Chiltern Hills

Aerial views of the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty immediately after departing Luton.

🌊

Severn Estuary

The massive tidal mouth of the River Severn separating England from South Wales.

🏖️

Copper Coast

The dramatic cliffs and hidden coves of the Waterford coastline as you enter Irish airspace.

🏰

Waterford City

Ireland's oldest city, visible where the River Suir meets the sea.

⛰️

Macgillycuddy's Reeks

Stunning views of Ireland's highest mountains, including Carrauntoohil, as you approach KIR.

Sit on the left (port) for the best views of the Irish coastline. Evening flights are spectacular as the sun sets over the Atlantic, illuminating the Kerry mountains in gold. Try to sit forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze distorting the mountain views.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🏡

The Cotswolds

The patchwork quilt of golden stone villages and rolling hills in central England.

🌄

Brecon Beacons

The rugged sandstone peaks of South Wales visible across the Bristol Channel.

🚢

St George's Channel

The deep blue waters of the Irish Sea crossing between the Welsh and Irish coasts.

🟢

The Golden Vale

Ireland's most fertile agricultural land stretching across Tipperary and Limerick.

🏞️

Galtee Mountains

Ireland's highest inland mountain range rising sharply from the surrounding plains.

The right side offers great views of the English Midlands and the lush green interior of Ireland. Watch for the River Shannon in the distance as you near the destination. Morning flights provide the best lighting for the Welsh mountains to the north.
