Which side of the plane to sit from Henri Coandă International Airport (Bucharest) to Dublin Airport (Dublin)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers the most dramatic views, including the Southern Carpathian Mountains right after takeoff and the northern perimeter of the Alps during the mid-flight segment.
Southern Carpathians
Visible shortly after departure, offering views of the Făgăraș and Bucegi massifs.
Lake Balaton
Central Europe's largest lake appears as a turquoise stripe in the Hungarian landscape.
Northern Alps
Distant but clear views of the Austrian and Bavarian Alpine peaks during the cruise phase.
Rhine River
The silver ribbon of the Rhine winding through the industrial heart of Germany.
London Cityscape
If the flight path transits southern England, the Thames and London's skyline are often visible.
Sit here on morning flights to have the sun at your back for better photography. The view of the Carpathian Mountains is usually within the first 20 minutes of flight. On arrival into Dublin, this side often sees the Wicklow Mountains during the descent if landing on Runway 28.
Transylvanian Plateau
Rolling hills and the historic landscape of central Romania north of the mountains.
Prague
In clear weather, the distinctive layout of the Czech capital can be seen to the north.
Low Countries Coastline
The intricate dikes, ports, and beaches of the Belgian and Dutch coasts.
Snowdonia
The rugged, dark peaks of North Wales provide a dramatic landmark before crossing the Irish Sea.
Howth Head
The prominent peninsula marking the northern edge of Dublin Bay during the final approach.
Recommended for evening flights to enjoy the sunset without direct glare. This side is superior for observing the North Sea crossing and the coastal geography of the UK and Ireland. Keep an eye out for the Isle of Man when crossing the Irish Sea.
