DUB โ CDG
Which side of the plane to sit from Dublin Airport (Dublin) to Charles de Gaulle International Airport (Paris)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the Wicklow Mountains after takeoff and the stunning white cliffs of the Normandy coast before descending into Paris.
Wicklow Mountains
Beautiful views of the 'Garden of Ireland' during the initial climb out of Dublin.
Alabaster Coast
The striking white chalk cliffs of Upper Normandy near Dieppe.
English Channel
Look down to see container ships and ferries crossing the busy shipping lanes.
Seine River Meanders
The winding path of the river as it flows through the French countryside towards Paris.
Parisian Horizon
The Eiffel Tower and La Dรฉfense skyline are often visible on the distant horizon during descent.
Sit behind the wing to ensure your view of the Normandy cliffs is not obstructed. On clear afternoons, the sun will be behind you, providing perfect lighting for photos of the Seine. Watch for the Wicklow Mountains immediately after wheels-up from Dublin.
Howth Head
A clear view of the northern arm of Dublin Bay shortly after departure.
Snowdonia
The highest peaks in Wales are often visible as you cross the Irish Sea.
London Outskirts
On clear days, the northern sprawl of London can be seen to the south.
French Farmland
The geometric patterns of the Picardy region's agricultural fields.
Opt for an early morning flight to see the sunrise reflecting off the Irish Sea. Keep a keen eye out for the Welsh coastline approximately 20 minutes after takeoff. If the plane approaches CDG from the east, you will have a better view of the airport layout.
