Our Recommendation
8.4

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers superior views of the dramatic Taurus Mountains in Turkey, the heart of the European Alps, and a more iconic approach into Dublin Bay over Howth Head.

Right Side Highlights
8.4
🏜️

Al-Nafud Desert

Striking high-contrast red sand dunes located in the northern part of the Arabian Peninsula.

⛰️

Taurus Mountains

Rugged limestone peaks and dramatic ridges crossing southern Turkey.

🏔️

Central Alps

Breathtaking close-up views of the highest glacial peaks in Switzerland and Austria.

🏙️

Greater London

On clear days, the sprawling urban layout of London and the winding River Thames are often visible.

🌊

Irish Sea

The final water crossing before arrival, often featuring views of the Isle of Man in the distance.

🍀

Dublin Bay

A beautiful coastal approach featuring Howth Head and the North Dublin coastline during descent.

The right side is ideal for daytime flights as it avoids the harshest direct sunlight glare, making it better for photography. For the best experience, monitor the flight path as you cross Central Europe to identify specific Alpine peaks. On the final approach into Dublin, the right side typically offers a more scenic view of the Irish coast.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏜️

Ad-Dahna Desert

Vast stretches of golden sand dunes stretching north from the Riyadh region.

🌊

Mediterranean Crossing

Deep azure waters as the flight transitions from the Levant into European airspace.

🏔️

Southern Alps

Distanced but expansive views of the snow-capped peaks of the southern European mountain range.

🏰

French Countryside

The picturesque patchwork of rural France, featuring historic towns and rolling green fields.

🚢

English Channel

Views of the world's busiest shipping lane with numerous cargo vessels and ferries below.

Choose the left side if you are flying during the late afternoon to catch a stunning sunset over the European horizon. It is also the better side for seeing the coastline of Southern Europe and the rural landscapes of central France.
