Which side of the plane to sit from Dublin Airport (Dublin) to Valencia Airport (Valencia)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior vantage point for the departure from Dublin Bay, the crossing of the French Atlantic coastline, and the high-altitude peaks of the Pyrenees.
Dublin Bay & Howth Head
A stunning view of the Dublin coastline and the Irish Sea immediately after departure.
Loire Estuary
The mouth of the Loire river and the coastal scenery near Saint-Nazaire on the French coast.
Central Pyrenees
Dramatic views of the snow-capped border between France and Spain, including the highest peaks.
Aragon Landscapes
The rugged, arid terrain and deep valleys of the Aragon region as you fly south into Spain.
Choose the left side for morning flights to see the sun rising over the Mediterranean as you approach Spain. This side also provides the most iconic views of Dublin's south coast during a standard departure. Keep an eye out for the Garonne river as you cross into the Pyrenees.
Wicklow Mountains
The rolling green hills and rugged peaks of the 'Garden of Ireland' visible during the initial climb.
Bay of Biscay
Vast ocean views and the rugged coastline of western France during the mid-flight cruise.
Iberian System
The mountainous terrain of eastern Castile and the Serrania de Cuenca on the descent.
Valencian Huerta
The famous patchwork of orange groves and irrigation canals surrounding Valencia during the final approach.
Sit on the right side for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is excellent for seeing the inland mountain ranges of Spain and the agricultural heartland of the Valencian community. During landing, you often get a great view of the inland reservoirs.
