Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Dublin to Paris. Left side wins both ends of the flight. At takeoff you get Dublin Bay and the Wicklow Mountains; on approach you get the Seine and the northern Paris urban landscape. The right side offers mostly open Irish Sea and flat Île-de-France farmland at the critical moments.

During takeoff from Dublin (DUB), sit on the Left side for the best views. Dublin typically departs eastward on runway 28/10, and a left-side seat gives you views back over Dublin Bay, the Liffey estuary, and the Wicklow Mountains to the south as you climb out. The Irish Sea opens up ahead and to the left as the aircraft turns southeast toward Wales. Notable sights include: Dublin Bay and Howth Head, the Liffey estuary and Dublin city centre, Wicklow Mountains to the south, Dun Laoghaire harbour.

When landing at Charles De Gaulle (CDG), sit on the Left side for the best views. CDG typically lands on westerly headings (runway 27L/27R or 26L/26R), meaning the approach comes in from the east. A left-side seat on the approach gives views over the northern Paris suburbs and, on a clear day, the Seine river snaking through the city to the south. The right side faces open agricultural Île-de-France countryside. Notable sights include: Seine river bends through northern Paris suburbs, Stade de France in Saint-Denis, urban density of Paris city centre to the south, Marne river valley.

The flight from Dublin (DUB) to Charles De Gaulle (CDG) takes Approximately 1 hour 30 minutes.

The route crosses the Irish Sea and passes over Wales, then tracks across the English Channel near the Cotentin Peninsula of Normandy. You will see the Welsh coastline and possibly Snowdonia in the distance, the English Channel crossing with the French coast of Normandy visible below, and then the flat agricultural plains of northern France (Picardy and Île-de-France) on the descent into Paris.
