Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Charlotte to Dublin. Left side wins at both ends of the flight. Over the Atlantic the views are largely featureless ocean regardless of side, so the departure and arrival scenery dominate the decision, and left delivers the Charlotte skyline on the way out and Dublin Bay with the Poolbeg chimneys on the way in.

During takeoff from Charlotte Douglas International (CLT), sit on the Left side for the best views. Charlotte Douglas primarily uses runways 18C/36C and 18L/36L. Departures heading north (runway 36) bank left and give the left side a clear view over uptown Charlotte's skyline and the surrounding Piedmont landscape. Departures heading south (runway 18) also favor the left side for the city center view as the aircraft climbs northeast toward the Atlantic. Notable sights include: Uptown Charlotte skyline, Lake Norman to the north, Lake Wylie to the southwest, Catawba River corridor.

When landing at Dublin (DUB), sit on the Left side for the best views. Flights from Charlotte typically approach Dublin from the west-southwest, with the standard ILS approach to runway 28 (heading roughly east). On this approach, the left side faces south and picks up Dublin Bay, the Poolbeg chimneys, and the city center as the aircraft descends over the Irish Sea. The right side faces north toward open sea and the less distinctive northern suburbs. Notable sights include: Dublin Bay, Poolbeg Generating Station twin chimneys, Dublin city center and the Liffey, Wicklow Mountains to the south.

The flight from Charlotte Douglas International (CLT) to Dublin (DUB) takes Approximately 8 to 8.5 hours.

The flight tracks northeast from Charlotte across the Appalachian foothills, then over the Mid-Atlantic coast near Virginia or Delaware, crossing the North Atlantic on a great circle route that passes south of Newfoundland and the Grand Banks, then over the open North Atlantic, before making landfall over the southwest coast of Ireland near County Clare or Kerry, crossing the Irish midlands, and descending into Dublin.
