Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Dublin to Riga. While takeoff from Dublin favors the right, the landing approach into Riga from the left offers more dramatic scenery—the Daugava River valley and coastal approach are more visually distinctive than the departure. Left-side seats capture the best of the final descent.

During takeoff from Dublin (DUB), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right-side seats offer views of Dublin Bay and the Irish coastline as the aircraft climbs northeastward.

Notable sights include: Dublin Bay, Howth Peninsula, Irish Sea, Wicklow Mountains (distant southern horizon).

When landing at Riga International Airport (RIX), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left-side seats provide excellent views during descent into Riga. You'll see the Daugava River valley, the Gulf of Riga coastline, and the approach over Latvia's flat, forested landscape with the city sprawling below.

The flight from Dublin (DUB) to Riga International Airport (RIX) takes Approximately 3 hours 15 minutes.

The flight path crosses the North Sea and then over the southern coast of Scotland and northern England (not directly visible on this route), then over the North Sea toward the Baltic. The aircraft will pass over or near the Frisian Islands and German coast before crossing into Baltic airspace. Over the Baltic Sea itself, you'll see open water for much of the cruise phase. As the aircraft approaches Latvia, the flat, forested landscape of Lithuania and Latvia becomes visible, with scattered lakes and the Daugava River system becoming prominent on descent.
