MXP β DUB
Which side of the plane to sit from Malpensa International Airport (Milano) to Dublin Airport (Dublin)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior panoramic view of the highest Alpine peaks, including Mont Blanc, followed by a potential glimpse of the Paris metropolitan area and the rugged coastline of Southern England and Wales.
Mont Blanc Massif
Shortly after takeoff, view the highest peak in the Alps and its surrounding glaciers.
Lake Geneva
The distinct crescent shape of Lac LΓ©man visible as the flight crosses the Swiss border.
Paris Environs
On clear days, the sprawling urban layout of Paris can be spotted to the west while cruising over France.
English Channel
Crossing the water from the Normandy coast toward the South Downs of England.
Snowdonia National Park
The dramatic mountainous terrain of North Wales before the final crossing of the Irish Sea.
Wicklow Mountains
As the aircraft descends into Dublin, these rolling green peaks appear to the south of the city.
Sit on the left for the most iconic Alpine views. On a morning flight, the sun will be behind you or to the right, providing perfect front-lighting for photos of the mountains. During the DUB approach, this side often sees the Dublin city center and the Guinness Storehouse if landing from the west.
The Matterhorn
The iconic pyramid-shaped peak is often visible to the northeast during the initial climb.
Champagne Vineyards
The rolling agricultural landscapes of the Grand Est region in France.
Port of Dover
Depending on the specific airway, the famous White Cliffs and busy shipping lanes may be visible.
Greater London
Views of the sprawling London suburbs and the Thames Estuary to the east.
Howth Head
The picturesque peninsula on the north side of Dublin Bay during the final approach.
Choose the right side to spot the Matterhorn and Monte Rosa early in the flight. If the flight path takes a more easterly route over the UK, you might see the London skyline. When landing in Dublin from the east (over the sea), the right side offers a beautiful view of the northern coastline and Lambay Island.
