Right seats dominate the outbound leg with excellent Dublin and Irish coastal views during climb. While left seats win on approach, the extended scenic value of the Irish departure and the Bay of Biscay views make right the better overall choice for this route.
Flight Path
The flight crosses the Celtic Sea and approaches the Breton coast of northwestern France. You'll pass over open water for most of the journey, but may glimpse the Breton peninsula (Brittany) with its rocky coastline and estuaries as you approach the Bay of Biscay. The Loire River estuary and coastal towns like Saint-Nazaire are sometimes visible in good conditions. The transition from Irish to French airspace occurs over the Atlantic, roughly midway through the flight.
