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

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic Italian coastline, the highest peaks of the French Alps, and a scenic approach into Dublin featuring the city and Dublin Bay.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏖️

Tuscan Archipelago

Spot the islands of Elba and Montecristo dotting the turquoise waters off the coast of central Italy.

🏔️

Western Alps

Breathtaking views of the snow-capped French and Swiss Alps, including the majestic Mont Blanc massif.

🗼

Paris Basin

On a clear day, the distinct layout of Paris and the winding Seine River can be spotted in the distance to the east.

🌳

The Cotswolds

Fly over the quintessential English countryside, marked by honey-colored stone villages and patchwork fields.

🏙️

Dublin City

If landing on Runway 28, the right side provides a panoramic view of the Liffey, the Docklands, and the city center.

The right side is the 'mountain side' for this route. For the best Alpine views, ensure you are flying during midday when shadows are minimal. On arrival in Dublin, the right side usually offers the best view of the city skyline during the standard approach pattern.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🌋

Mount Etna

Upon departure from Comiso, look back to see Europe's most active volcano towering over the Sicilian landscape.

🏝️

Sardinia & Corsica

As you head north over the Tyrrhenian Sea, the rugged coastlines of these Mediterranean islands are visible to the west.

⛰️

Massif Central

Crossing France, the ancient volcanic peaks and deep gorges of the central highlands dominate the view.

🌊

Bristol Channel

A clear view of the Severn Estuary separating South West England from the Welsh coastline.

☘️

Wicklow Mountains

On final approach, the rolling green granite mountains of 'The Garden of Ireland' appear to the south of the city.

Sit on the left for early morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun as you travel northwest. This side is also excellent for spotting the dramatic cliffs of the Welsh coast during the descent.
