STRDUB

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

Our Recommendation
8.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic peaks of Snowdonia in Wales and a more iconic approach over Dublin Bay and Howth Head.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🍇

Rhine River Valley

The winding river with its steep vineyard-covered banks and hilltop castles in Western Germany.

🏙️

Brussels Metropolitan Area

A clear view of the Belgian capital and its distinct urban geometry.

🏖️

English East Coast

The sandy beaches and estuaries of the Norfolk or Essex coastline depending on the specific flight corridor.

🏔️

Snowdonia National Park

Rugged, dramatic mountain terrain and the peak of Snowdon, the highest point in Wales.

⚓

Dublin Bay and Howth

Stunning coastal views of the Howth peninsula and the North Bull Island nature reserve during landing.

The right side is ideal for capturing the Welsh mountains mid-flight. For the best photography, choose a seat ahead of the wing to ensure the engine doesn't block the view of the Irish coastline during the descent.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🌲

The Black Forest

Dense, dark evergreen canopy visible to the south shortly after departure from Stuttgart.

🏰

Luxembourg Gorges

The deep sandstone valleys and historic fortifications of Luxembourg City are often visible.

🚢

Strait of Dover

Aerial view of one of the world's busiest shipping lanes between France and England.

🌉

Severn Estuary

The massive tidal range and the iconic bridges connecting England to South Wales.

⛰️

Wicklow Mountains

Rolling granite peaks and deep glacial valleys as you cross into Irish airspace.

Sit on the left for early morning flights to avoid direct glare from the sun. This side is particularly rewarding during the final descent into Dublin for views of the city center if the aircraft is landing on Runway 28L.
