Which side of the plane to sit from Santiago de Compostela Airport (Santiago) to Dublin Airport (Dublin)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic Galician estuaries upon departure and provides a spectacular panorama of Dublin City and its landmarks during the most common landing patterns.
Rias Altas
The rugged, jagged estuaries of the northern Galician coastline immediately after takeoff.
Bay of Biscay
Deep blue waters where you can often spot large cargo vessels and tankers on the maritime highway.
South Irish Coast
The first sight of Ireland usually features the dramatic cliffs and green fields of County Waterford.
Dublin City
Aerial views of Phoenix Park, the River Liffey, and the city center during the final approach to runway 28L.
Book a seat forward of the wing to ensure unobstructed views of the Galician coast. For morning flights, this side is preferable as the sun will be behind or above the plane, reducing glare on the window while looking west toward the Atlantic.
Cantabrian Range
Distant views of the Picos de Europa mountain range in Northern Spain shortly after departure.
Rosslare & Wexford
Views of the southeastern tip of Ireland and the busy ferry ports connecting to Wales and France.
Wicklow Mountains
The rolling granite peaks and dark peat bogs of the 'Garden of Ireland' as you descend toward Dublin.
Howth Head
The iconic rocky peninsula and the expanse of the Irish Sea as the plane turns for its final approach.
This side is excellent for evening flights to catch the sunset over the Atlantic. If the flight approaches Dublin from the north or performs a holding pattern over the Irish Sea, the right side offers the best views of the coastline and Howth.
