Which side of the plane to sit from La Rochelle-Île de Ré Airport (La Rochelle) to Dublin Airport (Dublin)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side provides a superior vantage point for the iconic Île de Ré bridge immediately after takeoff and offers dramatic views of the Wicklow Mountains and Dublin Bay during the approach into Ireland.
Île de Ré Bridge
A spectacular view of the long, curved bridge connecting the island to the French mainland.
Île de Ré
Detailed views of the salt pans, oyster farms, and white-sand beaches of the island below.
Celtic Sea
A vast expanse of deep blue water where the Atlantic meets the English Channel.
Wicklow Mountains
The rolling granite peaks and dark loughs of the 'Garden of Ireland' visible before landing.
Dublin South Coast
Views of the picturesque coastal towns of Bray and Dún Laoghaire as you enter Irish airspace.
The right side is highly recommended for the initial 5 minutes of the flight to see the Île de Ré. On the approach to Dublin, if the wind is from the west (runway 28), the right side offers the best views of the city and the scenic Wicklow coastline.
La Rochelle Old Port
A glimpse of the historic medieval towers guarding the entrance to the harbor right after takeoff.
Marais Poitevin
The sprawling 'Green Venice' marshlands stretching inland from the Atlantic coast.
Brittany Countryside
Aerial views of the traditional bocage hedgerows and rural landscapes of western France.
Dublin Port
The busy shipping lanes and industrial architecture of the Liffey estuary on the final descent.
Howth Head
The rugged peninsula and cliffs that form the northern boundary of Dublin Bay.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun over the Atlantic. This side is also excellent for spotting the historic core of La Rochelle if the aircraft banks left after takeoff.
