Our Recommendation
8.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides a continuous view of the rugged Atlantic coastline of Portugal and Spain, followed by the dramatic descent over the Wicklow Mountains into Dublin.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

Costa Verde

The stunning 'Green Coast' of northern Portugal featuring long stretches of white sand beaches and dunes.

🦀

Rías Baixas

The deep, fjord-like estuaries of Galicia, offering some of the most unique coastal geography in Europe.

⚓

Cape Finisterre

The rocky peninsula known as the 'End of the World' is often visible as the flight transitions over the Atlantic.

⛰️

Wicklow Mountains

A beautiful view of the rolling green hills and peat bogs of the Garden of Ireland during the southern approach.

Choose the left side for optimal lighting during afternoon flights, as the sun will be on the opposite side. Look out for the Galician coastline approximately 20 minutes after takeoff. During landing at Dublin (Runway 28L/R), the left side often captures the most scenic view of the Irish countryside.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🍷

Douro River

A brief but iconic view of the winding river and the sprawling suburbs of Porto shortly after takeoff.

🌲

Peneda-Gerês

The only National Park in Portugal, visible as a cluster of rugged peaks to the northeast during the climb.

⛵

Dublin Bay

A fantastic perspective of Howth Head and the Bull Island nature reserve if the flight approaches from the Irish Sea.

🏗️

Dublin Port

Views of the iconic Poolbeg Chimneys and the industrial heart of the city during final descent.

The right side is best if the flight departs towards the north, offering a panoramic view of Porto's urban landscape. On arrival, keep an eye out for the Irish Sea coastline; if the aircraft enters a holding pattern, you may get a full 360-degree view of the bay.
