Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Dublin to Reykjavik. Right-side seats capture the dramatic Irish departure over the coast and mountains, then maintain views of the open Atlantic and approaching Iceland's volcanic landscape on descent. Left seats miss the Irish coastal geography entirely during takeoff.

During takeoff from Dublin (DUB), sit on the Right side for the best views. Dublin typically departs runway 10L/10R (northeasterly heading). Right-side seats face toward the Irish Sea and the Dublin Mountains to the south, offering immediate coastal views. Left seats look inland over the Midlands. Notable sights include: Irish Sea (immediate offshore), Dublin Mountains (Wicklow range to the south), Dublin Bay and harbor infrastructure, Howth Peninsula extending into the sea to the northeast.

On approach from the south (runway 02), left-side seats face toward the Reykjanes Peninsula's dramatic lava fields and coastal cliffs. Right seats look over open Atlantic. Notable sights include: Reykjanes Peninsula lava fields (dark basalt terrain), Atlantic coastline with visible cliffs, geothermal areas with steam vents, Fagradalsfjall volcanic region.

The route crosses the Atlantic northwest from Dublin. Notable features include the Irish continental shelf (visible as water color change in early climb), the open Atlantic with occasional shipping traffic, and the approach to Iceland's southern coast showing the Reykjanes Peninsula's distinctive dark lava fields and geothermal activity zones visible from altitude as steam plumes in clear conditions.
