DUB → NCE
Which side of the plane to sit from Dublin Airport (Dublin) to Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport (Nice)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers an iconic arrival sequence. As the plane descends into Nice, you get a front-row seat to the stunning turquoise waters of the French Riviera, the Lerins Islands, and the luxury estates of Cap d'Antibes.

Wicklow Mountains
The rugged green peaks and valleys of 'The Garden of Ireland' visible shortly after leaving Dublin's airspace.
Cornish Coast
The dramatic cliffs and sandy coves of Cornwall and the Scilly Isles as the flight crosses the English Channel.
Massif Central
The unique volcanic landscapes and dormant craters of the Chaîne des Puys in central France.
Cannes & Lérins Islands
A perfect view of the luxury yachts in Cannes and the historic islands of Sainte-Marguerite and Saint-Honorat.
Baie des Anges
The spectacular sweep of the Nice coastline and the Promenade des Anglais just seconds before touchdown.
The right side is non-negotiable for the best views of the French Riviera coastline. Most flights into NCE land on Runway 04, which involves a low-altitude sweep along the coast from the west. Try to book a window seat away from the wing to fully capture the transition from the blue Mediterranean to the city of Nice.

Dublin Bay & Howth
Clear views of the Dublin coastline, the Baily Lighthouse, and the peninsula of Howth immediately after departure.
Welsh Coastline
Bird's-eye views of the Pembrokeshire coast or the Bristol Channel as the flight heads south toward France.
Eastern France
Views of the sprawling French countryside and the distant suburbs of Paris if the flight path tracks slightly east.
Rhône Valley
The winding Rhône River and the famous vineyards of the Hermitage and Châteauneuf-du-Pape regions.
Maritime Alps
Dramatic, jagged peaks of the Southern Alps visible during the final descent into the Côte d'Azur.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight when heading south. This side is excellent for seeing the inland mountains of Provence as you prepare to land, especially during the 'Riviera' approach when the plane turns toward the runway.
