Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior view of the Spanish coastline, including a potential fly-by of Barcelona, followed by a crossing of the Pyrenees and the famous wine regions of Bordeaux before arriving over the lush Irish coast.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏝️

Tramuntana Range

Stunning aerial views of Mallorca's UNESCO-protected rugged northern mountain ridge right after takeoff.

🏙️

Barcelona Cityscape

A breathtaking perspective of the Eixample grid pattern and the Sagrada Família as you cross the Spanish coast.

🏔️

Western Pyrenees

Dramatic views of the snow-capped peaks forming the natural border between Spain and France.

🍷

Bordeaux Vineyards

Vast stretches of world-famous vineyards and the winding Garonne River in southwestern France.

🌊

Bay of Biscay

Transition from the French Atlantic coast into the deep blue of the Celtic Sea.

☘️

Wexford Coastline

The first glimpse of the Emerald Isle, featuring patchworked green fields and sandy beaches.

Choose the left side for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the setting sun over the Atlantic. If Dublin is using Runway 28 for arrivals, the left side often provides a distant view of the city center and the Wicklow Mountains during the final descent.
