Which side of the plane to sit from Pula Airport (Pula) to Dublin Airport (Dublin)?

Our Recommendation
8.7

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior panoramic sequence: from the crystal-clear Istrian archipelago at takeoff to the high Swiss Alps and a dramatic final approach over the Dublin coastline.

Left Side Highlights
8.7
🏝️

Brijuni Islands

Clear views of the 14 emerald islands of the national park immediately after takeoff from Pula.

🎭

Venice Lagoon

Distant but recognizable view of the historic city and its surrounding marshes across the Adriatic.

🏔️

Swiss Alps

Breathtaking views of the highest central Alpine massifs, including the Matterhorn and Mont Blanc on the horizon.

🏰

Seine Valley

The meandering river and northern French countryside as the flight transits toward the English Channel.

⛰️

Snowdonia

The rugged, dark peaks of North Wales' highest mountain range before the Irish Sea crossing.

🌊

Dublin Bay South

Views of Killiney Hill, Dalkey Island, and Dun Laoghaire harbor during the final descent.

For the best experience, choose a morning flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the Alpine snow. If the wind is from the west, the left side provides the iconic 'scenic loop' over the Wicklow Mountains before landing in Dublin.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🏔️

Julian Alps

The sharp limestone peaks of Slovenia and the Italian border region visible shortly after departure.

💧

Lake Constance

The massive expanse of the Bodensee, where Germany, Switzerland, and Austria meet.

🌲

Black Forest

Dense, dark evergreen forests and rolling hills of southwestern Germany.

🏙️

Greater London

Distant views of the sprawling UK capital and the Thames Estuary on clear days.

🏗️

Liverpool Docks

The industrial coastline of the Mersey as the aircraft prepares for the sea crossing.

 lighthouse

Howth Head

The rugged peninsula marking the northern edge of Dublin Bay, often seen during the final turn to land.

The right side is excellent for afternoon flights to avoid direct glare. It offers a better perspective of the varied European lowlands and the industrial heart of the UK Midlands. Keep an eye out for the distinctive Poolbeg Chimneys when approaching Dublin.
