Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Dublin to Toronto. Left seats capture the dramatic Irish departure scenery (Dublin Bay, Howth, Wicklow Mountains) which is more visually distinctive than the landing approach. The transatlantic crossing itself offers minimal scenic value from either side—mostly open ocean and cloud—so the takeoff experience dominates the journey.

During takeoff from Dublin (DUB), sit on the Left side for the best views. Dublin Airport typically departs eastbound over the Irish Sea. Left seats face north toward the Dublin coastline and Irish hills, while right seats look south over inland terrain with less dramatic scenery. Notable sights include: Dublin Bay and Howth Peninsula (immediate foreground), Wicklow Mountains (southern horizon, 30+ miles distant), Irish Sea extending northeast.

When landing at Downsview (YZD), sit on the Right side for the best views. Toronto Pearson typically lands westbound. Right seats face north toward Lake Ontario's northern shoreline and the Greater Toronto Area sprawl, offering views of the lake and urban development. Left seats face south over the lake's open water with less distinctive features. Notable sights include: Lake Ontario (dominant feature), Toronto skyline and downtown core, Scarborough Bluffs (eastern shoreline), Greater Toronto Area suburban sprawl.

The flight from Dublin (DUB) to Downsview (YZD) takes Approximately 7 hours 15 minutes.

The flight crosses the Atlantic Ocean with no significant visible landmarks for roughly 5 hours. Passengers may glimpse the southern tip of Greenland or icebergs in the Davis Strait during favorable conditions (far north of the direct route), but these are not guaranteed. The approach to North America brings views of the Canadian Shield's forested terrain, the Great Lakes region, and eventually Lake Ontario before landing at Toronto Pearson.
