Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Raleigh-durham to Dublin. The right side wins narrowly by combining a mildly scenic coastal departure over the Chesapeake and Atlantic seaboard with an otherwise ocean-dominated flight; the left side's Dublin approach is good but doesn't offset a duller takeoff view, making the two sides close but the right slightly stronger overall.

During takeoff from Raleigh Durham International (RDU), sit on the Right side for the best views. Departing RDU northeast-bound, the right side offers glimpses of the North Carolina Piedmont and, further along, the Chesapeake Bay and Atlantic coastline near Norfolk/Virginia Beach as the flight climbs toward the ocean crossing. The left side mostly shows featureless inland Piedmont terrain. Notable sights include: Falls Lake, Chesapeake Bay, Virginia Beach coastline, Piedmont farmland patchwork.

When landing at Dublin (DUB), sit on the Left side for the best views. On approach to Dublin from the west, the left side offers views of Ireland's green patchwork countryside, the Wicklow Mountains to the south, and Dublin Bay with the city skyline as the plane descends over the Irish Sea coast. The right side mainly shows open farmland with less coastal interest. Notable sights include: Wicklow Mountains, Dublin Bay, River Liffey, Dublin city skyline.

The flight from Raleigh Durham International (RDU) to Dublin (DUB) takes 7h 20m.

The majority of the route crosses the open North Atlantic Ocean, with no land visible for several hours between the U.S. East Coast and the Irish coastline.
