Which side of the plane to sit from Ireland West Knock Airport (Connaught) to Eindhoven Airport (Eindhoven)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers superior views of the rugged Snowdonia mountain range in Wales and the complex industrial landscapes of the Dutch coastline near Rotterdam on approach.
Irish Lakelands
View the shimmering waters of Lough Ree and the winding River Shannon shortly after takeoff from Knock.
Snowdonia National Park
Spectacular aerial views of the highest peaks in Wales, including the jagged summit of Snowdon.
Manchester & Liverpool
The sprawling urban landscapes of Northwest England are often visible to the North.
Rotterdam Port
As you cross the North Sea, the massive industrial terminals and shipping lanes of the Europoort come into view.
Dutch Polders
The distinctive geometric patterns of reclaimed land and drainage canals characteristic of the Netherlands.
For morning flights, the left side is essential to avoid the harsh glare of the sun which tracks to the south. This side provides the best angle for photography of the Welsh mountains and the intricate Dutch waterway systems during the descent.
Wicklow Mountains
The rolling granite hills and dark peaty lakes south of Dublin visible across the Irish Sea.
English Midlands
Look down over the industrial heartland and numerous football stadiums as you cross central England.
Zeeland Delta Works
The world-famous Dutch sea defenses and massive dams protecting the low-lying province of Zeeland.
Brabant Countryside
Lush green fields and wooded areas of the southern Netherlands as you approach Eindhoven.
The right side is ideal for catching a glimpse of the London metropolitan area's outer edge depending on the specific air traffic control routing. In the late afternoon, this side offers warm, golden-hour light over the Dutch flood defenses, though it may be quite bright earlier in the day.
