GVA β DUB
Which side of the plane to sit from Geneva Cointrin International Airport (Geneva) to Dublin Airport (Dublin)?
Left Side of the Plane
While both sides offer stunning views, the left side is slightly superior as it provides a spectacular perspective of the Alps and Mont Blanc shortly after takeoff, followed by a scenic approach into Dublin over the Wicklow Mountains.

The Alps & Mont Blanc
Shortly after departure from GVA, look south to see the massive snow-capped peaks of the French and Swiss Alps, including Mont Blanc.
Burgundy Wine Region
Fly over the rolling hills and world-famous vineyards of eastern France as the aircraft tracks northwest.
Parisian Outskirts
Depending on the specific airway, you may catch a distant glimpse of the Eiffel Tower and the sprawl of the French capital.
Normandy Coastline
View the dramatic white cliffs and historic beaches of the Normandy coast before crossing the English Channel.
Wicklow Mountains
On the final descent into Dublin, the rugged green peaks and valleys of the Wicklow Mountains appear to the south.
Sit on the left side for the best chance to see Mont Blanc early in the flight. During the descent into Dublin, this side typically offers a beautiful view of the Irish coastline and the southern suburbs. Morning flights are ideal as the sun will be behind you or to the right, minimizing glare.

Lake Geneva (Lac LΓ©man)
Immediately after takeoff, enjoy a bird's-eye view of the crescent-shaped lake and the Jet d'Eau fountain.
Jura Mountains
Watch the forested ridges and limestone plateaus of the Jura range that forms the border between Switzerland and France.
The English Channel
A clear view of the busy shipping lanes and the transition from the European mainland to the British Isles.
Snowdonia National Park
If the flight path crosses North Wales, look for the jagged peaks of Snowdonia and the scenic Welsh coastline.
Dublin Bay
As you approach Dublin Airport, the right side often provides a panoramic view of Dublin Bay, Howth Head, and the city center.
The right side is excellent for seeing the Jura Mountains and Lake Geneva right at the start. If the aircraft approaches Dublin from the east over the Irish Sea, you will have a perfect view of Howth and the harbor. Evening flights are particularly scenic on this side as you fly away from the setting sun.
