Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers the best vantage point for the French Basque coastline at takeoff and the dramatic Wicklow Mountains upon approach to Dublin.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏖️

Côte des Basques

Breathtaking views of the surfing beaches and the rugged shoreline of Biarritz immediately after departure.

🌊

Bay of Biscay

A vast crossing of the deep blue Atlantic, where you might spot large cargo vessels or whales.

🗼

Brittany Peninsula

The westernmost tip of France, featuring the rocky cliffs and lighthouses of Finistère.

⛰️

Wicklow Mountains

Lush green rolling hills and granite peaks as the flight begins its descent over Ireland.

🏰

Killiney Bay

A scenic sweep of coastline often compared to the Bay of Naples, visible just south of Dublin.

Choose the left side for morning or midday flights to avoid direct sunlight. This side is especially rewarding during the final 20 minutes of flight when the aircraft usually turns north along the Irish coast, revealing the 'Garden of Ireland' in Wicklow.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
🏘️

Bayonne & Adour River

A clear view of the historic city of Bayonne and the winding Adour river shortly after takeoff.

🏝️

Île d'Yeu

A beautiful island off the Vendée coast of France, often visible during the early cruise phase.

⛵

Celtic Sea Crossing

Excellent views of the heavy maritime traffic entering and exiting the English Channel.

🚩

Howth Head

The rugged, gorse-covered peninsula that forms the northern boundary of Dublin Bay.

🏭

Poolbeg Chimneys

Dublin's iconic red-and-white striped towers standing tall at the mouth of the Liffey.

The right side is better for spotting the French Atlantic islands mid-flight. When landing at Dublin from the east (Runway 28L/R), the right side offers a direct look at the Port of Dublin and the northern suburbs like Howth and Malahide.
