DUB โ†’ MRS

Which side of the plane to sit from Dublin Airport (Dublin) to Marseille Provence Airport (Marseille)?

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the rugged French Atlantic coastline, the volcanic landscapes of the Massif Central, and a stunning final approach over the Mediterranean coast.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
โ›ฐ๏ธ

Wicklow Mountains

The rolling granite peaks and glacial lakes south of Dublin shortly after departure.

๐Ÿ–๏ธ

Brittany Coastline

The rugged, jagged granite cliffs and sandy coves where the flight enters French airspace.

๐Ÿ›ถ

La Rochelle & Islands

Views of the historic port city and the picturesque islands of Rรฉ and Olรฉron.

๐ŸŒ‹

Massif Central

The dramatic landscape of extinct volcanoes (Puys) and deep gorges in south-central France.

๐ŸŒŠ

Gulf of Lion

The deep blue Mediterranean Sea appearing as the plane turns for its final approach.

โœˆ๏ธ

Etang de Berre

The massive saltwater lagoon adjacent to the airport, providing a water-side landing sensation.

The right side is unbeatable for the approach into Marseille. As the plane descends, you will likely fly over the Massif Central's peaks. During the final bank towards the runway, you get a panoramic view of the coastline and the blue Mediterranean. Afternoon flights on this side may experience some sun glare, so bring sunglasses.

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ช

Dublin City & Bay

Aerial views of the Liffey river, the port, and the coastal suburbs of Howth and Dun Laoghaire.

๐Ÿฐ

Loire Valley

The longest river in France, dotted with historic chateaux and sprawling vineyards in central France.

๐Ÿท

Rhone Valley

A glimpse of the famous wine-producing region and the city of Lyon in the distance to the east.

๐Ÿ”๏ธ

Distant Alps

On clear days, the snow-capped peaks of the French Alps are visible on the far eastern horizon.

๐ŸŒฟ

Provence Countryside

The transition to the Mediterranean climate with terracotta roofs and limestone ridges.

Sit on the left for early morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is better for spotting the winding Loire river and the distant silhouette of the Alps. Look out for the city of Lyon roughly 30-40 minutes before landing.
