Which side of the plane to sit from Venice Marco Polo Airport (Venice) to Dublin Airport (Dublin)?

Right Side Highlights
9.2
🎭

Venice Coastline

Panoramic views of the Lido and the northern stretches of the Adriatic coast.

🏔️

The Dolomites

The distinctive, jagged limestone peaks of the Italian Alps shortly after departure.

🛶

Lake Garda

Views of Italy's largest lake nestled at the foot of the mountains.

🏰

French Heartland

A view of the northern French plains, with potential distant views of the Paris skyline depending on the track.

🌳

The Cotswolds

The rolling green hills and patchwork fields of the English countryside.

⚓

Dublin Bay

A spectacular arrival view featuring Howth Head and the North Dublin coastline before landing.

Choose the right side for the most dramatic and sustained views of the Swiss and French Alps. This side is typically in the shade during morning and afternoon flights, making it much easier to take clear photos. For the best arrival experience, the right side usually provides a better view of the Irish coast before touchdown.

Left Side Highlights

🛶

Venice Lagoon

Aerial view of the historic center and the intricate network of islands shortly after takeoff.

🏔️

Mont Blanc

The highest peak in the Alps visible as you cross the border between Italy and France.

🗼

Views of the southern suburbs and the sprawling French countryside.

🌊

English Channel

⛰️

Snowdonia

🏙️

Dublin City South

Views of the Liffey river and the suburban landscape of South Dublin on final approach.

Sit on the left if you want the best chance of seeing the historic center of Venice during the initial climb. Be aware that on morning flights, the sun will be on this side of the aircraft for most of the journey, which may cause significant glare on the window.
