The left side delivers two strong, well-defined scenic sequences: Dublin Bay and the Wicklow Mountains during the turn after takeoff, and the iconic Vesuvius-Bay of Naples panorama on final approach. The right side's main asset is a mid-cruise glimpse of the Alps, which is shorter and altitude-dependent, giving the left side more consistent value across the whole flight.
