Which side of the plane to sit from Tenerife South Airport (Tenerife) to Dublin Airport (Dublin)?

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side is superior for its unparalleled view of Mount Teide during departure and the scenic approach over Dublin Bay and the Poolbeg Chimneys upon arrival.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌋

Mount Teide

Spain's highest peak and its massive volcanic crater are visible shortly after takeoff from Tenerife South.

🏙️

Santa Cruz de Tenerife

Aerial view of the island capital and the Anaga Rural Park mountains as the plane heads north.

🌊

Bay of Biscay

Crossing the expansive bay, often showing interesting cloud formations or distant cargo ships.

⚓

Dublin Bay

A stunning panoramic view of the horseshoe-shaped bay, including Dun Laoghaire and Howth Head.

🗼

Poolbeg Chimneys

The iconic red-and-white striped towers that signal your arrival into Dublin's industrial heart.

The right side is the clear winner for takeoff; ensure your window is clear to capture Mount Teide's summit. For the best landing experience, hope for a 'Runway 28' approach, which provides a legendary view of Dublin city and the Liffey. During winter months, afternoon flights offer a beautiful sunset over the Atlantic from this side.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🌊

Atlantic Horizon

Uninterrupted views of the deep blue Atlantic Ocean for the majority of the flight duration.

🏝️

Madeira Archipelago

On clear days, the volcanic peaks of Madeira and Porto Santo may be visible in the distance to the west.

⛰️

Wicklow Mountains

As the aircraft descends into Ireland, the rolling green granite peaks of the Wicklow range appear.

🏖️

Wexford Coastline

Views of the long sandy beaches and coastal inlets of Southeast Ireland during the initial descent.

Sit on the left for a more peaceful, glare-free view during northbound morning flights. This side is best for spotting the rugged Irish coastline of County Wicklow as you approach Dublin from the south. Keep an eye out for distant sightings of the Portuguese coast if the flight path is adjusted eastward.
