Search flights from DUB to ORD
Greenland Ice Sheet
One of the most breathtaking sights in aviation, featuring massive glaciers and jagged arctic mountains.
Arctic Icebergs
In clear weather, floating icebergs can often be spotted off the coast of Labrador and Newfoundland.
Canadian Shield
The vast, untouched wilderness of Northern Quebec, characterized by millions of small lakes and boreal forests.
Chicago Skyline
Iconic views of the Willis Tower, John Hancock Center, and the Lake Michigan shoreline during the final descent.
This is the side for aurora hunters; if flying during the winter or late at night, the right side faces north toward the auroral oval. Monitor the flight map about 3.5 to 4.5 hours after departure for Greenland. For the Chicago skyline, hope for a landing on Runways 27C, 27L, or 28C, which typically offer the best downtown views from the right side.
