Which side of the plane to sit from Girona Airport (Gerona) to Dublin Airport (Dublin)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is generally superior for this route as it offers a spectacular panoramic view of Dublin Bay and the city skyline during the typical approach into Dublin Airport, alongside varied French inland scenery.
Costa Brava
Stunning views of the turquoise Mediterranean waters and the Catalan coastline during the initial climb out of Girona.
Loire Valley
Aerial views of the winding Loire River and the historic, lush countryside of central France.
English Channel
The busy shipping lanes of the channel and the distant white cliffs of the Normandy coastline.
Dublin Bay
A prime perspective of the Liffey river, the city center, and the iconic Poolbeg Chimneys during the final descent.
The right side is the 'money side' for the landing in Dublin. On the common westerly approach (Runway 28L/R), you will have an unobstructed view of the entire city and the harbor. In the afternoon, the sun is positioned to your left, providing the perfect front-lighting for photos of the French landscape and the Irish Sea.
Pyrenees Peaks
Views of the high-altitude central massif and snow-capped peaks shortly after crossing the Spanish border.
Atlantic Horizon
Sweeping views of the deep blue Bay of Biscay and the French western seaboard as the plane heads north.
Brittany Coast
The dramatic, rugged rocky outcrops and jagged coastline of the Finistère region in western France.
Wexford Coastline
Initial landfall over the vivid green fields and sandy beaches of southeastern Ireland.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare while viewing the Pyrenees. This side is also excellent for spotting the remote islands off the coast of Brittany if the flight path swings slightly west over the Atlantic.
