CCF β†’ DUB

Which side of the plane to sit from Carcassonne Airport (Carcassonne) to Dublin Airport (Dublin)?

Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side is superior for this route as it offers a front-row seat to the French Atlantic coastline, the rugged cliffs of Brittany, and a spectacular aerial view of the Wicklow Mountains and Dublin city during the final descent.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
πŸ”οΈ

Pyrenees Peaks

Distant but majestic views of the snow-capped Pyrenees to the south immediately after takeoff from Carcassonne.

🌊

La Rochelle & Atlantic Coast

Clear views of the Charente-Maritime coastline, including the distinctive white limestone cliffs and the Île de Ré bridge.

βš“

Brittany Peninsula

The wild, jagged coastline of western France, often passing near Brest or Quimper before heading over the Celtic Sea.

⛰️

Wicklow Mountains

The lush, rolling green peaks of the 'Garden of Ireland' visible during the southern approach into Dublin.

πŸ™οΈ

Dublin City Center

A bird's-eye view of the River Liffey, St. Stephen's Green, and the historic core if landing on Runway 28L.

Choose the left side for evening flights to witness the sun setting over the Atlantic Ocean. On the approach to Dublin, if the wind is from the west, you will get an iconic view of the city layout. Ensure your window is clean to capture the high-contrast colors of the French coast and the Irish greenery.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
πŸŒ„

Montagne Noire

The rugged northern landscape of the Occitanie region visible shortly after departure.

🏰

Loire Valley

Glimpses of the winding Loire River and the historic estates scattered across the French countryside.

πŸŒ‰

Nantes Estuary

The industrial and maritime hub where the Loire meets the sea, featuring the massive Saint-Nazaire Bridge.

🚀

Celtic Sea Crossing

A vast expanse of deep blue water often dotted with cargo ships and ferries heading toward the Irish Sea.

🌊

Howth Head

The dramatic rocky peninsula that marks the northern boundary of Dublin Bay, visible during the final turn.

The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. It provides excellent views of the Irish Sea and the Howth Peninsula. Keep an eye out for the English Channel islands or the tip of Cornwall depending on the specific air traffic control routing.
