While the Dublin departure offers coastal scenery, the Toronto arrival provides more dramatic and sustained views of Lake Ontario and the Greater Toronto Area's urban landscape. Right side seats capture the most visually interesting approach.
Flight Path
The flight crosses the Atlantic at high altitude (typically 31,000-35,000 feet), passing over the North Atlantic with no visible landmarks for roughly 4-5 hours. You may see Newfoundland's eastern coastline and the Canadian Maritime provinces (Nova Scotia, New Brunswick) during the final 1.5-2 hours of descent, though these appear as distant landmasses on the horizon. The Labrador Current and occasional icebergs in spring/early summer are theoretically visible but rarely distinct at cruise altitude.
