ATH → DUB
Which side of the plane to sit from Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport (Athens) to Dublin Airport (Dublin)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior sequence of landmarks, including the legendary Mount Olympus, the intricate archipelago of the Croatian coast, the core of the Swiss Alps, and often a clear view of the London metropolitan sprawl.
Mount Olympus
The highest mountain in Greece and legendary home of the gods, visible early in the flight.
Dalmatian Coast
A stunning mosaic of turquoise waters and thousands of Croatian islands stretching along the Adriatic.
Swiss Alps
Breathtaking views of the high-altitude glacial peaks and deep valleys of central Switzerland.
London Skyline
On clear days, the vast urban sprawl of London and the Thames estuary are often visible before crossing the Irish Sea.
Dublin Bay
A beautiful view of the crescent-shaped bay and Howth Head during the final approach to DUB airport.
The right side is unbeatable for the Croatian coastline about 60 minutes into the flight. For the best alpine photos, ensure your window is clean, as the contrast between snow and rock is sharpest at midday. During the landing at Dublin, the right side usually faces the Irish Sea and the Howth peninsula.
Gulf of Corinth
Aerial views of the narrow stretch of water separating the Peloponnese from mainland Greece shortly after takeoff.
The Apennines
The rugged mountainous spine of Italy stretching across the horizon as you cross the Adriatic.
Western Alps
Dramatic views of the French and Italian alpine peaks, including distant glimpses of Mont Blanc.
Loire Valley
The lush green landscapes of central France, dotted with historic estates and winding river segments.
Snowdonia
The dramatic peaks of North Wales visible as the flight path crosses toward the Irish Sea.
Choose the left side for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh southern sun. During the final descent into Dublin, this side often provides a great view of the Wicklow Mountains and the southern suburbs of the city if approaching from the south.
