DUB → LIN
Which side of the plane to sit from Dublin Airport (Dublin) to Milano Linate Airport (Milan)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer scenic views, the right side provides the most dramatic perspective of the high Alps, including potential views of Mont Blanc, and better visibility of the Italian lakes during the descent.
Wicklow Mountains
Vibrant green peaks and valleys south of Dublin visible shortly after takeoff.
English South Coast
Views of the Isle of Wight and the sparkling waters of the English Channel.
Paris Surroundings
Distant views of the French capital and its distinct urban layout.
Mont Blanc & The High Alps
Spectacular, close-up views of Europe's highest peaks as you cross into Italy.
Lake Maggiore & Como
Stunning vistas of the deep blue Italian lakes nestled against the Alpine foothills on final approach.
Sit on the right for the definitive 'Alps experience.' About 20-30 minutes before landing, keep your camera ready for the high mountain massifs. For afternoon flights, be aware the sun will be on this side, so window shades or sunglasses may be necessary until the descent starts.
Dublin Bay
A beautiful view of the Irish coastline and Howth Head immediately after departure from DUB.
Snowdonia National Park
Aerial views of the rugged mountains and peaks of North Wales as the flight crosses the Irish Sea.
Greater London Area
On clear days, the vast sprawl of London and the Thames Estuary are visible to the north.
French Champagne Region
The geometric patterns of vineyards and rural landscapes of Northern France.
Eastern Alps
Glaciated peaks of the Swiss and Italian border regions during the initial descent phase.
The left side is preferable for morning flights to avoid direct glare from the sun. It offers a great view of the Welsh coastline early on, but you may miss the most iconic Alpine peaks that sit further west of the flight path.
