While takeoff favors the right, the landing approach on the left provides more dramatic and sustained scenery—Dublin Bay, the Wicklow Mountains, and the Liffey estuary create a more visually rewarding final descent than the relatively flat terrain around Valencia.
Flight Path
The flight path crosses the Bay of Biscay (relatively featureless at altitude), then passes over Brittany's coastline and the Loire Valley region of France. The Pyrenees remain far to the south. Over the Atlantic, you'll see only open ocean. As you approach Ireland, the Celtic Sea and Irish coastline become visible, with the Welsh coast potentially visible to the southeast depending on exact routing.
