MCO → DUB
Which side of the plane to sit from Orlando International Airport (Orlando) to Dublin Airport (Dublin)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers superior coastal views of the United States East Coast during departure and provides the first glimpse of Ireland's rugged Wild Atlantic Way upon arrival.
Florida Space Coast
Aerial views of Cape Canaveral and the Kennedy Space Center shortly after departure from Orlando.
The Outer Banks
The distinctive thin ribbon of North Carolina's barrier islands stretching into the Atlantic.
Northeast Corridor
The brilliant night lights of the Megalopolis, including Philadelphia, New York, and Boston.
Newfoundland Coast
Depending on the North Atlantic Track, the rocky cliffs of eastern Canada may be visible.
Wild Atlantic Way
Dramatic first views of the Irish coastline, featuring the rugged cliffs of Donegal or Mayo.
Sit on the left (Port) for the best chance to see the US coastline before the ocean crossing. This flight is almost always overnight; window shades are often requested to be closed for the short 'night,' so use the early morning light to catch the Irish landfall. In winter, keep an eye out for the Aurora Borealis during the middle of the flight if tracking far north.
Atlantic Sunrise
A spectacular, high-altitude sunrise occurring mid-flight over the open ocean.
Gulf Stream
Deep blue water transitions marking the warm ocean current that fuels the North Atlantic weather.
Wicklow Mountains
Scenic views of the rolling granite peaks south of Dublin during the final descent.
Dublin Bay
The picturesque sweep of the Irish Sea coast including Dun Laoghaire and the Poolbeg towers.
The right side (Starboard) is the 'sunrise side' on this eastbound route. Expect the sun to rise very quickly due to the plane's eastward velocity. During landing at DUB, the right side often gets a better view of the Wicklow Mountains and the southern suburbs of Dublin if the aircraft is circling for a westerly landing.
