La Coruna to Dublin is 706 miles (1,137 km), a flight of about 2 hours 5 minutes.
Both sides score equally for the full flight due to the route's ocean-dominated nature and lack of dramatic terrain. However, the right side edges ahead on landing quality: Dublin Bay and the Howth Peninsula provide more distinctive urban and coastal scenery during approach than the left side's open Atlantic. The takeoff advantage on the left (Ría de A Coruna) is offset by the landing advantage on the right, making right the marginally better choice for the complete journey.
Flight Path
Open Atlantic Ocean between Galicia and Ireland; no significant landmarks visible during cruise phase. The flight path crosses the Bay of Biscay's northern waters at altitude, with only open ocean visible for approximately 45 minutes of the 75-minute flight.
