Our Recommendation
7.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior mix of diverse landscapes, from the rugged mountains of Northern Spain and the edge of the French coast to the iconic green patchwork of the Irish midlands.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🏰

Spanish Meseta

The high altitude central plateau of Spain, featuring vast agricultural plains and ancient towns.

⛰️

Picos de Europa

Spectacular limestone massifs and snow-capped peaks in the Cantabrian Mountains of Northern Spain.

⛵

Brittany Peninsula

Distant views of the French coast near Brest as the plane crosses the Celtic Sea.

🟢

The Emerald Isle

The iconic lush green landscape and intricate network of stone walls across the Irish midlands.

🏞️

Lough Ree & Shannon

Significant sightings of Ireland's major river system and large inland lakes during the descent.

The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. Look out for the 'Picos de Europa' roughly 45-60 minutes into the flight. During the descent into Knock, keep your camera ready for the classic Irish 'forty shades of green' landscape.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏖️

Costa del Sol

Panoramic views of the Malaga coastline and the Alboran Sea immediately after takeoff.

🏔️

Sierra Morena

The jagged peaks and deep valleys of the mountain range separating Andalusia from the central plateau.

🌊

Bay of Biscay

A vast expanse of deep blue Atlantic water as the flight leaves the Spanish mainland.

☘️

Galway Bay

On the final approach, look for the deep indentations of the rugged Atlantic coastline of Ireland.

Choose the left side for evening flights to witness the sunset over the Atlantic Ocean. This side is also best for spotting the dramatic cliffs of the Irish west coast if the flight path tracks slightly offshore before turning into Knock.
