Izmir to Dublin is 1,875 miles (3,018 km), a flight of about 4 hours 15 minutes.
While the takeoff offers good Aegean views, the landing approach into Dublin provides more dramatic and varied scenery—Dublin Bay, Howth Peninsula, and the River Liffey estuary are all visually distinctive. The right side captures the arrival experience more memorably.
Flight Path
The flight path crosses the Mediterranean toward the Tyrrhenian Sea, then over southern Italy (Sicily visible on the left side of the route), across the central Mediterranean, then over southern France and the Bay of Biscay. Notable midpoint landmarks include the Italian coastline near Calabria, the Balearic Islands region (south of the typical flight path), and the Pyrenees on the France-Spain border (visible on the left/north side during the westbound leg). The Bay of Biscay crossing offers open ocean views with occasional cloud formations. As the aircraft approaches Ireland, the Welsh coastline and Irish Sea become visible before the final descent into Dublin.
