Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers spectacular views of the English Lake District's peaks and lakes, followed by a clear sighting of the Isle of Man during the Irish Sea crossing.
Search flights from NCL to DUB
Lake District National Park
Breathtaking views of England's highest mountains and famous lakes like Windermere and Ullswater.
Isle of Man
Mid-way through the flight, the entire island is often visible, including Snaefell mountain rising from the Irish Sea.
Malahide and Lambay Island
As the plane descends into Dublin, enjoy views of the rugged northern coastline and the secluded Lambay Island.
This is the premier side for scenic photography. For the best lighting of the Lake District, book a morning flight when the sun illuminates the eastern slopes. Keep your camera ready about 15-20 minutes into the flight for the best mountain views. Be aware that low cloud cover is common over the Pennines and Lakes, so check the weather forecast for clear skies.

Newcastle City Center
Excellent views of the Tyne bridges, St. James' Park, and the urban sprawl of Tyneside shortly after takeoff.
Durham Cathedral
If the flight path tracks slightly south, look for the iconic Romanesque towers of Durham's historic cathedral.
Dublin Bay
On the final approach into Dublin, this side offers sweeping views of the crescent-shaped bay and Dun Laoghaire harbor.
Choose this side if you prefer cityscapes over nature. On afternoon flights, the sun will be on this side, which can create glare but provides excellent 'golden hour' lighting for the Dublin coastline approach. If landing on Runway 28, you will see the Wicklow Mountains in the distance to the south.
