About This Route
Which side of the plane should I sit on flying from Linate (LIN) to Dublin (DUB)?
Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Milan to Dublin. While takeoff favors the right, the landing view from the left is significantly more dramatic and geographically distinctive. Dublin Bay and the Irish coastline provide far more visual interest than the Lombardy Plain, making left-side seats the better overall choice for this route.
