Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Dublin to Windsor Locks. Right-side seats dominate both segments—Dublin departure offers coastal and bay views, while the westbound approach to Bradley provides the Connecticut River and airport approach corridor. Left seats see less distinctive features on both legs.

During takeoff from Dublin (DUB), sit on the Right side for the best views. Dublin typically departs eastbound (runways 10L/10R). Right-side seats face north toward Dublin Bay and the Irish Sea, offering views of the coastline, Howth Peninsula, and the city sprawl. Left seats face inland toward the Wicklow Mountains, which are distant and less dramatic from climb-out altitude. Notable sights include: Dublin Bay with its distinctive curved shoreline, Howth Peninsula extending into the Irish Sea, Dublin city grid visible below, Wicklow Mountains as a distant ridge to the southwest.

When landing at Bradley International (BDL), sit on the Right side for the best views. Bradley International uses runways 06/24. Westbound approaches (runway 06) descend from the east with right-side seats facing north toward the Connecticut River valley and Massachusetts border. This provides views of the river, surrounding farmland, and the approach corridor. Left seats face south toward Hartford and less distinctive terrain. Notable sights include: Connecticut River as a meandering waterway, Bradley International Airport itself with visible runways and taxiways, surrounding New England farmland and forest patches, distant Hartford skyline to the south.

The flight from Dublin (DUB) to Bradley International (BDL) takes Approximately 6 hours 15 minutes.

The flight crosses the Atlantic at cruise altitude (typically 31,000-35,000 feet), passing over the open ocean with no visible landmarks. The route generally follows a great-circle path over the North Atlantic, passing south of Iceland and north of Newfoundland. At cruise altitude, passengers see only ocean, cloud formations, and occasionally the curvature of the horizon. The approach to North America brings views of the Canadian Maritimes and New England coastline during descent, with the Atlantic coast becoming visible around 15,000 feet near the Massachusetts/Connecticut border.
