Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Miami to Dublin. The right side delivers the spectacular Florida Keys and Biscayne Bay departure, and while the landing view of Dublin Bay is better on the left, the takeoff scenery is more dramatic and memorable. For the long overwater Atlantic crossing, neither side has much to see at cruise altitude, so the departure experience tips the balance to the right.

During takeoff from Miami International (MIA), sit on the Right side for the best views. MIA typically departs east on runway 09 or northeast on runway 12, meaning the right side faces south over Biscayne Bay, the Florida Keys chain, and the turquoise shallow waters of the Florida Straits. The left side gets the urban sprawl of Miami and the Everglades, which is less visually striking at departure. Notable sights include: Biscayne Bay, the Florida Keys arc stretching southwest, Virginia Key and Key Biscayne, the Port of Miami cruise terminals.

When landing at Dublin (DUB), sit on the Left side for the best views. Transatlantic flights from Miami approach Dublin typically from the southwest, with runway 28 being the most common arrival. On left side seats, passengers get a clear view of the Irish Sea coastline, Dublin Bay, and the city itself spread along the bay as the aircraft descends. The right side faces inland toward the Wicklow Mountains but the city panorama is on the left. Notable sights include: Dublin Bay and its curved coastline, the Poolbeg Chimneys (iconic twin red-and-white stacks), Howth Head peninsula, the city center and River Liffey corridor.

The flight from Miami International (MIA) to Dublin (DUB) takes Approximately 8 hours 30 minutes to 9 hours.

After departing Florida, the route tracks northeast over the Bahamas briefly, then out over the open North Atlantic. The flight passes south of Newfoundland and the Grand Banks, crosses the mid-Atlantic with nothing but ocean below for several hours, then approaches Ireland from the southwest over the Celtic Sea. The Azores archipelago lies well to the south of the typical routing and is not overflown. As the aircraft descends toward Ireland, the southwest Irish coastline — County Cork and Waterford — may be visible before tracking up toward Dublin.
