Which side of the plane to sit from Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport (Nice) to Dublin Airport (Dublin)?

Our Recommendation
8.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the French Alps immediately after departure and provides a breathtaking panoramic vista of Dublin Bay and the city skyline upon arrival.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🏔️

Mercantour Alps

Spectacular snow-capped peaks of the Southern Alps visible shortly after taking off from Nice.

🏙️

Rhône Valley

High-altitude views of the confluence of the Rhône and Saône rivers near Lyon.

🏖️

Normandy Coast

White chalk cliffs and historic coastal towns along the northern edge of France.

🚢

English Channel

Active shipping lanes and views of the western tip of the UK mainland in the distance.

🍀

Dublin Bay

An iconic approach over Howth Head, the Poolbeg Chimneys, and the heart of Dublin city.

The right side is essential for the 'Baie des Anges' departure views of the Promenade des Anglais. On arrival in Dublin, standard westerly landings (Runway 28) provide the right side with a full view of the city and Dublin Port.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🌊

French Riviera

Deep blue waters and the distinctive red volcanic cliffs of the Estérel Massif near Cannes.

🌋

Massif Central

The unique landscape of the Chaîne des Puys, featuring dozens of extinct volcanic craters.

🏰

Loire Valley

Glimpses of France's longest river and the surrounding historical chateaux estates.

🌊

Celtic Sea

Expansive oceanic views as the flight transitions from the French coast toward Ireland.

⛰️

Wicklow Mountains

The rugged green terrain and glacial valleys of the 'Garden of Ireland' during the descent.

Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you while flying northwest. This side is particularly good for observing the geological formations of central France and the lush greenery of the Irish countryside south of Dublin.
