AHO โ DUB
Which side of the plane to sit from Alghero-Fertilia Airport (Alghero) to Dublin Airport (Dublin)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior departure sequence past the dramatic limestone cliffs of Capo Caccia and generally provides better views of the Welsh mountains and the final approach over Dublin Bay.
Capo Caccia
Immediately after takeoff, witness the massive vertical limestone cliffs and the Neptune's Grotto area near Alghero.
Massif Central
The ancient volcanic plateaus and craters of central France provide a unique geological landscape.
Paris Outskirts
Depending on the exact airway, the distant sprawl of the French capital and its surrounding forests may be visible.
Snowdonia/Eryri
Dramatic views of the highest mountains in Wales and the rugged terrain of the Llลทn Peninsula.
Dublin Bay
A classic approach view featuring Howth Head, the Bull Island sandbar, and the Dublin city skyline.
Sit on the right for the best departure views of Sardinia's Coral Riviera. As you approach Dublin, the right side typically offers the best view of the city and the iconic Poolbeg chimneys if the aircraft lands on Runway 28L/R, which is the most common configuration.
Gulf of Lion
Expansive views of the turquoise Mediterranean as the flight heads north from Sardinia toward the French coast.
Eastern Pyrenees
On clear days, the distant snow-capped peaks where the Pyrenees meet the Mediterranean are visible to the west.
Loire Valley
Aerial perspectives of the 'Garden of France,' featuring winding rivers and the outlines of historic chateaux.
Brittany Coast
The rugged, indented coastline of northwest France with its numerous bays and sandy beaches.
Wicklow Mountains
The rolling green peaks of the Irish highlands appearing as the aircraft crosses the Irish Sea.
Choose the left side for better views of the French Atlantic coastline and the lush green landscapes of south-eastern Ireland during the descent. This side is also preferable if you want to avoid direct sunlight on morning flights heading north.
