Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Newark to Dublin. Left side wins both departure and arrival. You get the full Manhattan and New York Harbor panorama climbing out, and on descent into Dublin you face the city, Dublin Bay, and the Wicklow Mountains rather than flat midland farmland. Over the Atlantic mid-flight there is little to differentiate sides, but the bookend views strongly favor the left.

During takeoff from Newark Liberty International (EWR), sit on the Left side for the best views. EWR typically departs northeast on runway 22L/04R or uses runway 29 heading west then turning north. On a transatlantic departure heading northeast, the left side gives you Manhattan's skyline, the Hudson River, and the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge as the aircraft climbs and banks. The right side faces New Jersey's industrial flatlands. Notable sights include: Manhattan skyline and Central Park, Hudson River, Verrazano-Narrows Bridge, Upper New York Bay.

On the most common approach to runway 28 from the east, or runway 34 from the north, the left side faces south over Dublin Bay, the city center, and the Wicklow Mountains in the distance. The right side looks north over flat agricultural County Meath. Notable sights include: Dublin Bay and the Poolbeg Chimneys, Dublin city center, Wicklow Mountains on the southern horizon, Howth Head peninsula.

The flight tracks northeast from Newark, crossing Long Island and then out over the North Atlantic. Visible features include the coast of Newfoundland and Labrador if routing takes you near it, occasional sea ice or icebergs in the Labrador Sea at lower latitudes in winter and spring, and the southern tip of Greenland may appear on the northern horizon on some routings. Approaching Europe, the southwest coast of Ireland — the Dingle Peninsula and Blasket Islands — is often the first landfall, followed by the Irish midlands before descent into Dublin.
