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

Our Recommendation
8.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side is generally superior for this route as it offers stunning views of the North Sea coastline, the rugged peaks of North Wales, and a picturesque approach over Dublin Bay and Howth Head.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🇩🇪

Northern German Plains

Views of the forested regions north of Berlin and the urban sprawl of the German panhandle.

🏝️

Frisian Islands

The unique chain of islands along the Dutch and German North Sea coast is visible in clear weather.

🇬🇧

English Midlands

Fly over the heart of England, spotting cities like Birmingham or the rolling Peak District.

🏔️

Snowdonia / Eryri

Spectacular views of Wales' highest mountains and glacial valleys before crossing the Irish Sea.

⚓

Dublin Bay

The iconic approach over Howth Head and the Bull Island nature reserve provides a classic entry into Ireland.

This side is ideal for morning flights to enjoy the illuminated landscape without glare. For the best view of the Irish coastline and Howth Head during landing, choose a window seat forward of the wing.

🏙️

Warsaw Skyline

Upon takeoff from Modlin, you can often see the distant skyscrapers of central Warsaw to the south.

🚜

Central European Plains

Expansive views of the neatly partitioned agricultural fields across western Poland and central Germany.

🌊

The Rhine River

Cross the winding Rhine as you transition from German to Dutch or Belgian airspace.

South Wales Valleys

Dramatic landscape of the industrial heartlands and rolling hills of Southern Wales.

⛰️

Wicklow Mountains

On the final approach to Dublin, the granite peaks of the Wicklow Mountains are visible to the south.

Sit on this side for better lighting on late afternoon flights to avoid the direct western sun. On descent into Dublin, look for the 'Garden of Ireland' (Wicklow) if the plane enters the landing pattern from the south.
