DUB β GVA
Which side of the plane to sit from Dublin Airport (Dublin) to Geneva Cointrin International Airport (Geneva)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides the most iconic views of Lake Geneva and the city's landmarks, including the Jet d'Eau, especially during the descent and final approach.
Dublin Bay
A sweeping view of the Irish coastline and Howth Head as you depart over the Irish Sea.
London & Thames
On clear days, the northern outskirts of London and the Thames Estuary are visible during the transit across the UK.
Jura Mountains
The rugged, forested ridges of the Jura range mark the border transition from France to Switzerland.
Lake Geneva
Unparalleled views of the vast, crescent-shaped Lac LΓ©man stretching toward the east.
Jet d'Eau
The famous 140-meter tall water fountain is clearly visible on the final approach into GVA.
Book a seat in the front half of the cabin to avoid the wing. On morning flights, the sun is behind you, providing perfect lighting for photos of the lake and the Jura mountains. The descent into Geneva usually involves a turn over the lake, making the left side the prime spot for city views.
Wales & Bristol Channel
Views of the rugged Welsh coastline and the wide mouth of the Severn River.
English Channel
Observe the busy shipping lanes and the transition from the UK to the French coastline.
Parisian Horizon
Depending on the exact flight path, the distant skyline of Paris may be visible to the south.
Mont Blanc & Alps
Spectacular distant views of the snow-capped French Alps and the highest peak in Europe to the south.
Lake Annecy
Further south, the turquoise waters of this alpine lake are often visible during the final descent phase.
The right side is best for viewing the high Alps and Mont Blanc in the distance. This side is particularly scenic during late afternoon or sunset flights when the mountain peaks are illuminated by the setting sun. Ensure your window is clean for high-altitude mountain photography.
