Get a final look at the silhouettes of Gran Canaria and Fuerteventura to the east as you climb to cruising altitude.
Galician Coast
Depending on the specific airway, the jagged coastline of Northwestern Spain (Galicia) can often be seen in the distance.
Old Head of Kinsale
As the descent into Cork begins, look for this iconic narrow peninsula jutting into the Celtic Sea, crowned with its famous lighthouse.
Cork Harbour
Enjoy a spectacular view of one of the world's largest natural harbors, including the colorful town of Cobh, just minutes before landing.
The right side is essential for seeing Mount Teide. Be ready with your camera immediately after the initial climb. For the approach into Cork, this side usually offers the best view of the Irish coastline. If it is a morning flight, be aware that the sun will be on this side, so window shades or sunglasses may be necessary until you reach northern latitudes.

Vast Atlantic
Miles of deep blue ocean views, perfect for spotting cargo ships and the occasional whitecaps of the North Atlantic.
Mizen Head
On approach, you may catch a distant view of Ireland's southernmost point and its rugged, wave-battered cliffs.
The left side is the better choice for afternoon or evening flights to avoid direct glare from the sun. While mostly overlooking open water, it provides a sense of the immense scale of the Atlantic and is excellent for watching the sunset as you head north.
