About This Route
Which side of the plane should I sit on flying from Berlin Brandenburg (BER) to Dublin (DUB)?
Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Berlin to Dublin. While takeoff offers good Berlin geography on the left, the landing view on the right is more dramatic and geographically distinctive. Dublin Bay, Howth Head, and the Wicklow Mountains provide far more visually compelling and recognizable landmarks than the relatively flat approach to Berlin.
What can I see during takeoff from Berlin Brandenburg in Berlin?
During takeoff from Berlin Brandenburg (BER), sit on the Left side for the best views. Berlin Brandenburg typically departs runways 07L/R or 25L/R depending on wind. A left window seat on a westbound departure (runway 07L) captures the Spree River winding through Berlin's city center and the distinctive lakes of the Müggelsee system to the southeast as you climb. The contrast between urban sprawl and water features is striking during initial climb. Notable sights include: Spree River (threading through central Berlin), Müggelsee (largest lake in Brandenburg, visible as a dark blue expanse southeast of the city), Tegeler See (northwest of city center), urban grid of Mitte and Charlottenburg districts.
What can I see when landing at Dublin in Dublin?
When landing at Dublin (DUB), sit on the Right side for the best views. Approaching Dublin typically uses runways 10L/R or 28L/R. A right window seat on descent captures the Irish coastline dramatically—Dublin Bay with Howth Head's rocky peninsula to the north and Dun Laoghaire harbor to the south are unmistakable. The Wicklow Mountains appear as a dark ridge inland to the southwest, providing excellent geographic context. Notable sights include: Dublin Bay (wide, sheltered estuary), Howth Head (distinctive rocky headland on north side of bay), Dun Laoghaire harbor (south side, visible as a curved breakwater), Wicklow Mountains (dark ridge on southwestern horizon).
