RIX → DUB
Which side of the plane to sit from Riga International Airport (Riga) to Dublin Airport (Dublin)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior mix of maritime scenery, including the Swedish Baltic islands, North Sea offshore infrastructure, and a dramatic entry into Ireland via the northern Dublin coast.
Search flights from RIX to DUB
Baltic Islands
Depending on the specific airway, catch glimpses of the Swedish islands of Öland or Gotland rising from the blue Baltic waters.
Offshore Wind Farms
Massive renewable energy arrays in the North Sea appear as white geometric patterns against the water.
Isle of Man
The silhouette of the island and its central mountain, Snaefell, are often visible in the middle of the Irish Sea.
Howth Peninsula
The iconic cliff-lined headland and Lambay Island mark the arrival into the Greater Dublin Area with great clarity.
Choose this side for the best lighting during mid-day flights. As you approach Dublin (DUB), the right side typically offers a clear view of the rugged northern coastline and the scenic Howth Head during the standard landing patterns.

Jurmala Coast
Expansive views of Latvia's premier seaside resort and the Gulf of Riga immediately after takeoff.
Netherlands Coastline
The intricate network of dikes, polders, and the Wadden Sea islands are often visible on the southern track.
Welsh Mountains
The peaks of Snowdonia National Park provide a rugged contrast to the sea before the final descent.
Dublin Southside
On clear days, the Aviva Stadium and the sprawling suburbs of south Dublin are visible during the final turn.
Best for viewing the European mainland and the English Midlands. On morning flights, expect significant glare as the sun stays to the south; afternoon flights offer much better lighting for photography of the Welsh coastline and Dublin city.
