DUBREU

Which side of the plane to sit from Dublin Airport (Dublin) to Reus Air Base (Reus)?

Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides a superior vantage point for the scenic transition from the Irish Sea across the French Atlantic coast and the highest peaks of the Pyrenees mountain range.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🇮🇪

Dublin Bay

Aerial views of the Poolbeg Chimneys and the curve of Dublin Bay immediately after takeoff.

🌊

French Atlantic Coast

Clear views of the islands of Île de Ré and Île d'Oléron near the city of La Rochelle.

🍷

Gironde Estuary

The massive confluence of the Garonne and Dordogne rivers near the famous Bordeaux wine region.

🏔️

Central Pyrenees

Dramatic views of the highest snow-capped peaks separating France and Spain.

⛰️

Montserrat Massif

The distinctive multi-peaked serrated mountain range visible shortly before the final approach into Reus.

Choose a seat ahead of the wing for clear views of the French coastline. This side is particularly stunning on midday flights when the sun illuminates the Pyrenees from the south. Watch for the intricate patterns of oyster farms along the French coast.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
⛰️

Wicklow Mountains

Green rolling hills and glacial valleys of Ireland's east coast shortly after departure.

🌊

Bay of Biscay

A vast expanse of deep blue ocean often featuring dramatic cloud formations.

🏖️

Basque Coastline

The rugged cliffs and sandy beaches near San Sebastián and Biarritz as the plane enters Spanish airspace.

🏞️

Ebro Valley

The winding Ebro river and the arid, contrasting landscapes of the Spanish interior.

🌊

Costa Daurada

The golden coastline of the Mediterranean Sea as the aircraft turns for its final landing sequence.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid direct glare from the sun. It offers excellent views of the sunset over the Atlantic during late evening departures. Keep an eye out for the transition from the lush green of the Basque country to the tawny earth tones of Catalonia.
