Which side of the plane to sit from Toulouse-Blagnac Airport (Toulouse) to Dublin Airport (Dublin)?

Our Recommendation
7.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior mix of inland French landmarks, including the historic Loire Valley and the volcanic Massif Central, followed by a scenic approach over the Welsh mountains and Dublin Bay.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
๐Ÿ”๏ธ

Massif Central

The distant, ancient volcanic silhouettes of the Auvergne region visible to the east during the early cruise phase.

๐Ÿฐ

Loire Valley

The winding 'Garden of France' featuring historic riverbanks and glimpses of Renaissance chรขteaux.

๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ท๓ ฌ๓ ณ๓ ฟ

Snowdonia National Park

The rugged peaks of North Wales, including Snowdon, often visible during the transition from the Irish Sea.

โš“

Dublin Bay

A classic approach view of Howth Head, the Bull Island sandbar, and the iconic Poolbeg Chimneys.

The right side is best for morning flights as the sun illuminates the French countryside and Welsh mountains. During the descent into Dublin, look for the 'Stacks' or the Isle of Man on the horizon. If the plane lands on Runway 28, you will get a perfect view of the city center.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
๐Ÿ‡

Bordeaux Vineyards

Bird's-eye view of the geometric patterns of the famous Aquitaine wine regions shortly after takeoff.

๐ŸŒŠ

Bay of Biscay

Expansive views of the Atlantic horizon as the flight path skirts the western coast of France.

๐Ÿ–๏ธ

Brittany Coast

The rugged, rocky peninsulas and turquoise waters surrounding the islands of Southern Brittany.

โ›ฐ๏ธ

Wicklow Mountains

Dramatic granite peaks and dark loughs visible just south of Dublin during the final descent.

Choose the left side for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the setting sun over the Atlantic. This side is also excellent for spotting the 'Emerald Isle' coastline first as you cross the Celtic Sea. Keep an eye out for the Saltee Islands off the Wexford coast.
