VLC β DUB
Which side of the plane to sit from Valencia Airport (Valencia) to Dublin Airport (Dublin)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior sequence of landmarks, featuring the high peaks of the Central Pyrenees, the iconic Dune of Pilat on the French coast, and a spectacular approach over Dublin Bay into Ireland.
Valencia Cityscape
Bird's-eye view of the City of Arts and Sciences and the Turia Gardens upon departure.
Central Pyrenees
The highest summits of the range, often snow-capped even in early summer months.
Dune of Pilat
The tallest sand dune in Europe, located near Bordeaux, contrasting with the pine forests.
Loire Estuary
Where the longest river in France meets the Atlantic near the city of Saint-Nazaire.
Dublin Bay
A stunning finale featuring Howth Head, the Poolbeg Chimneys, and the Dublin city center.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct glare. Look out for the French coastline between 45 and 60 minutes into the flight. On the final approach to DUB, the right side usually gets the best view of the city skyline if landing on Runway 28L.
Western Pyrenees
Dramatic views of the jagged peaks where the mountain range meets the Basque Country.
Bay of Biscay
A vast expanse of deep blue Atlantic water, often showing whitecaps and cargo ship wakes.
Γle d'Ouessant
The westernmost point of France, marked by rugged cliffs and iconic lighthouses.
Celtic Sea
The maritime gateway between the European continent and the British Isles.
Wicklow Mountains
Rolling green hills and glacial valleys appearing as you cross the Irish coastline.
Sit on the left for evening flights to witness the sunset over the Atlantic. During the descent into Dublin, this side provides views of the Irish midlands and the lush greenery of 'The Garden of Ireland'.
