Which side of the plane to sit from Dublin Airport (Dublin) to Girona Airport (Gerona)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a diverse array of landmarks including the Irish coastline, the historic Loire Valley, and a spectacular descent over the eastern Pyrenees towards the Mediterranean.
Dublin Bay & Howth
Immediately after takeoff, catch views of the Dublin coastline and the iconic Poolbeg chimneys.
The Loire Estuary
As you cross into France, the massive mouth of the Loire River near Saint-Nazaire is clearly visible.
Bordeaux Vineyards
Look down over the Gironde estuary and the world-famous vineyards of the Médoc region.
The Pyrenees Range
A dramatic crossing of the snow-capped border between France and Spain, offering rugged mountain peaks.
Girona City
On final approach, the colorful houses along the Onyar River and the massive Cathedral are often visible.
For the best experience, choose a seat ahead of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. Morning flights provide excellent lighting on the French coast without the harsh glare of the setting sun. Watch for the change in landscape from the lush green of France to the arid, rocky textures of Catalonia.
Wicklow Mountains
Aerial views of the 'Garden of Ireland' and the Glendalough area shortly after departure.
Isles of Scilly
On clear days, the turquoise waters around these islands off the tip of Cornwall are visible in the distance.
Bay of Biscay
Expansive views of the Atlantic Ocean and deep-sea shipping lanes as you transit toward Spain.
Costa Brava
Depending on the landing pattern, you may see the rugged 'Wild Coast' and its hidden turquoise coves.
The right side is ideal for sunset flights to catch the colors over the Atlantic. Keep an eye out for Land's End in Cornwall if the flight path tracks slightly further west. During the final descent, look for the volcanic landscape surrounding Olot near Girona.
