Wicklow Mountains
The 'Garden of Ireland' reveals its rolling granite peaks and glacial valleys as you head south from Dublin.
Scilly Isles
On clear days, the archipelago off the tip of Cornwall is visible as small emerald gems in the Celtic Sea.
Galician Rias
Spectacular views of the deep, narrow sea inlets along the Spanish coast near A Coruña and Vigo.
Costa Verde
The lush, green northern coastline of Portugal with its white-sand beaches like Viana do Castelo.
Douro Estuary
The meeting point of the Douro River and the Atlantic Ocean just before touching down at OPO.
Sit here for a stunning sunset over the Atlantic Ocean on evening flights. On the descent, watch for the unique 'Rias' of Spain's northwest corner; they look like fjords and are a major highlight of this specific flight path.

Dublin Bay
Panoramic views of the capital's horseshoe-shaped bay and Howth Head immediately after departure.
Brittany Coastline
Distant views of the western tip of France and the lighthouse-heavy waters of the Iroise Sea.
Porto Cityscape
Excellent views of the Ribeira district and the city center if the aircraft performs a southern approach to Runway 35.
Bay of Biscay Traffic

Choose this side if you are flying in the late afternoon to avoid the direct glare of the setting sun over the Atlantic. It is also the preferred side for spotting the lights of the French and Spanish northern coasts during night flights.
