BCN → DUB
Which side of the plane to sit from Barcelona International Airport (Barcelona) to Dublin Airport (Dublin)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior mix of the Mediterranean coast at departure, the French Atlantic coastline during transit, and the most iconic views of Dublin Bay and the city skyline during the final approach.
Barcelona Urban Grid
Watch the unique octagonal blocks of the Eixample district and the Sagrada Família disappear as you climb.
French Atlantic Isles
Spot the scenic islands of Île de Ré and Île d'Oléron nestled near the coast of La Rochelle.
Dublin Bay & Howth
Unbeatable views of Howth Head, the Poolbeg Chimneys, and the Dublin docks during the descent into DUB.
For the best experience, choose a seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. This side is particularly spectacular during the landing phase if the aircraft uses Runway 28, as it provides a panoramic view of the entire Dublin city center and the harbor area.
The Pyrenees Massif
Cross the dramatic, snow-capped peaks of the mountain range that forms the natural border between Spain and France.
Bay of Biscay
Stunning views of the deep blue North Atlantic waters and the rugged coastline of the French Basque Country.
Irish South Coast
The first glimpse of the 'Emerald Isle' featuring the jagged cliffs and patchwork green fields of County Wexford.
The left side is ideal for evening flights to catch the sunset over the Atlantic. However, be aware of the glare during the late afternoon. Keep your camera ready about 20-25 minutes after departure for the best views of the Pyrenees peaks.
