Which side of the plane to sit from Václav Havel Airport Prague (Prague) to Dublin Airport (Dublin)?

Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides a superior view of the Prague city center upon departure and offers the best chance to spot the iconic London skyline and the rugged peaks of Snowdonia in Wales.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏰

Prague Old Town

Aerial view of the Vltava River, Prague Castle, and the historic red-roofed city center immediately after takeoff.

🍷

Rhine River Valley

The winding river and steep-sloped vineyards of western Germany are often visible.

🚢

The English Channel

Views of the busy shipping lanes and the white cliffs near Dover during the crossing to the UK.

🎡

London Panorama

If the flight path follows a southerly route, passengers can see the Shard, the Thames, and the London Eye.

⛰️

Snowdonia National Park

The dramatic, rocky terrain of the Welsh mountains as the plane heads toward the Irish Sea.

For morning flights, the left side is ideal as the sun is positioned to the south, providing clear, front-lit views of the landscape. Watch closely during the first 10 minutes for the best views of Prague. If the flight path is southerly over England, this side offers the most famous landmarks.

Right Side Highlights
7.6
🏭

The Ruhr Area

The dense industrial heartland of Germany, featuring complex infrastructure and urban sprawl.

🇳🇱

Dutch Polders

The unique reclaimed land patterns and intricate canal networks of the Netherlands near the coast.

🏗️

North Sea Wind Farms

⛰️

Peak District

The rolling green hills and moors of central England as the flight crosses towards the west.

🌊

Dublin Bay and Howth

A stunning coastal view of the Howth peninsula and the Irish coastline during the descent into DUB.

The right side is excellent for afternoon or evening flights to avoid direct sunlight. During the approach to Dublin, this side often provides a clearer view of the Irish coastline and the North Dublin suburbs. Keep an eye out for the massive offshore wind turbines when crossing from the Netherlands to the UK.
