LYS → DUB
Which side of the plane to sit from Lyon Saint-Exupéry Airport (Lyon) to Dublin Airport (Dublin)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the British coastline, including Cornwall and Wales, followed by a panoramic approach into Dublin Bay.
English Channel
Clear views of one of the world's busiest shipping lanes and the distant Normandy coast.
Cornish Coastline
The turquoise waters and sandy coves of Devon and Cornwall are often visible during clear weather.
South Wales
Views of the Bristol Channel and the rugged southern coastline of Wales.
Dublin Bay
The iconic Poolbeg Chimneys, Howth Head, and the sprawling city skyline upon arrival.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct glare. It provides the best perspective for the landing at DUB, particularly if the aircraft circles over Dublin Bay for an approach onto Runway 28L.
Massif Central
View the ancient volcanic domes and rugged plateaus of central France shortly after takeoff.
Loire Valley
The winding Loire River and its surrounding historic estates are visible as you head northwest.
Brittany Peninsula
The jagged coastline of western France where the land meets the Atlantic Ocean.
Wicklow Mountains
Green, rolling granite peaks that mark the final approach into the Dublin region.
Sit on the left for evening flights to catch the sunset over the Atlantic. This side is also excellent for spotting the lush greenery of the 'Garden of Ireland' (Wicklow) during the descent into Dublin.
