VNO → DUB
Which side of the plane to sit from Vilnius International Airport (Vilnius) to Dublin Airport (Dublin)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the North Sea coastline, the rugged mountains of North Wales, and a more scenic entry into Dublin Bay with views of Howth Head, while avoiding direct sun glare on westbound flights.
Baltic Coastline
Excellent views of the Curonian Spit and the sandy shores of the Baltic Sea during the early stages of the flight.
Frisian Islands
The unique chain of German and Dutch barrier islands arching through the Wadden Sea.
North Sea Wind Farms
Massive offshore renewable energy installations visible as white dots against the deep blue sea.
Snowdonia (Eryri)
The dramatic, jagged peaks of North Wales, including Snowdon, providing a rugged contrast to the sea crossing.
Howth Head & Dublin Bay
A classic approach view featuring the peninsula of Howth, the Baily Lighthouse, and the island of Ireland's Eye.
The right side is the 'cool' side for photography, as you are facing north away from the sun. Watch for the dramatic transition from the North Sea to the Welsh mountains. During the descent into DUB, this side usually offers the iconic view of the Irish coastline and Dublin's northern coastal villages. For the best experience, choose a seat ahead of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Frisian Islands.
Vilnius Old Town
A stunning bird's-eye view of the historic city center and the Neris River immediately after takeoff from VNO.
Masurian Lake District
A vast network of thousands of lakes and dense forests spanning North-Eastern Poland.
The Ruhr Valley
The dense industrial and urban landscape of Western Germany, often visible as a massive sprawl of infrastructure.
Greater London
Depending on the specific flight corridor, the southern horizon often reveals the sprawling outskirts of the UK capital.
Wicklow Mountains
As the plane turns for its final approach into Dublin, the rolling green and purple hills of Wicklow appear to the south.
Sit on the left if you want a chance to see the historic Vilnius skyline during departure. However, be aware that on mid-day flights, the sun will be on this side, which can cause significant glare and heat. On approach to Dublin, if landing from the west (Runway 28), the left side provides views of the Irish countryside and the southern suburbs.
