DUB โ†’ SVQ

Which side of the plane to sit from Dublin Airport (Dublin) to Sevilla Airport (Sevilla)?

Our Recommendation
8.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior view of the diverse landscapes, including the initial departure over the Wicklow Mountains, the crossing of the French Atlantic coast, and the dramatic approach over the Sierra Morena into the Guadalquivir valley.

Wicklow Mountains

Rugged granite peaks and glacial valleys visible shortly after takeoff from Dublin Airport.

๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท

Breton Coastline

Dramatic views of the rugged inlets and islands of Brittany as the flight path skims the French coast.

โ›ฐ๏ธ

Picos de Europa

Spectacular limestone massifs of the Cantabrian Mountains when entering Spanish airspace from the Bay of Biscay.

๐Ÿฐ

Castilian Meseta

The vast, golden-hued high plateau of Central Spain, offering views of historic settlements and grid-like fields.

๐ŸŒ„

Sierra Morena

The final mountain barrier before the descent, featuring dense Mediterranean forests and rugged ridges.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct glare. Keep a lookout for the Picos de Europa approximately mid-way through the flight; they are often snow-capped well into spring. This side provides the best perspective of the inland Spanish geography.

Right Side Highlights

Andalusian Plains

A sea of olive groves and geometric agricultural patterns during the final descent into Seville.

The right side is ideal for evening flights to witness the sunset over the Atlantic Ocean. During the final approach into SVQ, look for the winding path of the Guadalquivir River. Note that if the plane approaches from the south, you might see the city skyline of Seville.
