Dublin to Newark flight path: DUB to EWR

Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Dublin to Newark. Both sides face nearly eight hours of open Atlantic during cruise, which caps their scores, but the right side gets the far more dramatic bookend: a clear view of the Manhattan skyline and New York Harbor on final approach, something the flat Dublin departure view can't match.

During takeoff from Dublin (DUB), sit on the Left side for the best views. Departing Dublin on runway 28, the initial climb west gives left-side passengers a look back at Dublin city, Dublin Bay, and the Wicklow Mountains rising to the south before the aircraft turns out over the Irish midlands toward the Atlantic. The right side mostly shows flat farmland with little definition. Notable sights include: Dublin city center, Dublin Bay, Wicklow Mountains, River Liffey estuary.

When landing at Newark Liberty International (EWR), sit on the Right side for the best views. On the descent into Newark, transatlantic arrivals frequently track down over Long Island Sound and southwestern Connecticut before turning toward New Jersey, putting Manhattan and New York Harbor in view on the right side of the aircraft. The left side during this turn mostly faces New Jersey suburbs and Newark Bay, which are far less distinctive. Notable sights include: Manhattan skyline, Statue of Liberty, New York Harbor, Hudson River.

The flight from Dublin (DUB) to Newark Liberty International (EWR) takes about 8 hours 5 minutes. The shortest flight path between them is 3,185 miles (5,125 km); winds and air traffic control usually add a few percent.

The route crosses the North Atlantic at high latitude, passing near the Grand Banks off Newfoundland before continuing over Nova Scotia and the Gulf of Maine; for most of the crossing there is only open ocean with no land visible from either side.
