Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers the most dramatic scenery, featuring the rugged Wicklow Mountains upon departure and a spectacular panoramic view of the Pyrenees mountain range during the final descent into Perpignan.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
⛰️

Wicklow Mountains

The 'Garden of Ireland' reveals its rolling granite peaks and deep glacial valleys shortly after leaving Dublin.

🌊

Brittany Coast

Aerial views of the jagged Atlantic coastline of France, including numerous islands and turquoise shallows.

🍷

Bordeaux Vineyards

The perfectly manicured rows of some of the world's most famous vineyards as you traverse the Gironde region.

🏔️

The Pyrenees

The primary highlight: a massive wall of snow-capped peaks forming the border between France and Spain.

🏖️

Côte Vermeille

The dramatic point where the Pyrenees meet the Mediterranean sea just south of Perpignan.

The right side is essential for viewing the Pyrenees on arrival. Choose a seat forward of the wing for an unobstructed view of the mountains. Note that on evening flights, the setting sun may be directly in your eyes, so morning or midday flights are optimal for this side.

Left Side Highlights
7.4
🏙️

Dublin Bay

Panoramic views of Dublin city, the port, and the distinctive Poolbeg chimneys immediately after takeoff.

🏰

Loire Valley

Clear views of the winding Loire River and the geometric patterns of the surrounding French countryside.

🌋

Massif Central

In the distance, the ancient volcanic peaks of central France can be seen breaking the horizon.

🛡️

Cité de Carcassonne

The massive medieval fortified walls of Carcassonne are often visible just before the final turn toward the coast.

🛥️

Étang de Leucate

Large coastal lagoons and oyster beds shimmering near the Mediterranean shore during the approach.

Sit on the left if you prefer views of the French interior and historical landmarks like Carcassonne. For afternoon flights, this side will be in the shade, providing better conditions for glare-free photography of the Mediterranean coastline during the arrival phase.
