DUB → JFK
Which side of the plane to sit from Dublin Airport (Dublin) to John F Kennedy International Airport (New York)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior scenery, including the possibility of spotting Greenland's ice caps, the rugged Newfoundland coastline, and a scenic descent along the New England coast with softer, indirect lighting.

Greenland Ice Sheet
Depending on the daily jet stream, you may see massive glaciers and icebergs along the southern tip of Greenland.
Newfoundland
The stark, rocky cliffs and deep fjords of Canada's easternmost province.
Maine Coastline
The intricate network of islands, inlets, and lighthouses along the rugged New England shore.
Greater Boston
Views of the Massachusetts Bay and the dense urban layout of the Boston metropolitan area.
Northern Lights
High probability of seeing the Aurora Borealis during winter night flights over the North Atlantic.
Seats on the right (K/L) avoid the direct glare of the sun, making them far better for taking photos. Keep an eye on the flight map; if the route takes a 'Great Circle' path further north, the views of Greenland and the Labrador Sea are world-class. Use a flight tracking app to see if your specific flight number typically tracks over land or sea.

Dublin Coastline
Aerial views of the Dublin Bay and the Wicklow Mountains immediately following takeoff.
Deep Atlantic
Vast ocean horizons and complex cloud structures during the primary crossing.
The Hamptons
Clear views of the luxury estates and white sandy beaches of eastern Long Island.
NYC Skyline
Distant but iconic views of the Manhattan skyscrapers if landing on southern runways.
Oceanic Sunset
Dramatic lighting and color gradients over the wing on late afternoon departures.
The left side (Seats A/B) is prone to direct, harsh sunlight for the duration of the westbound flight, which can make it quite warm. However, it is the preferred side for viewing the barrier islands of New York and the potential for a spectacular sunset as you approach the US East Coast.
