Right seats capture the superior landing approach over Dublin Bay and the Wicklow Mountains, which is the most visually distinctive segment of this transatlantic route. Takeoff from Buttonville is brief and less dramatic, making the landing view the deciding factor.
Flight Path
The flight crosses the Atlantic at roughly 35,000 feet. Notable features along the route include: the Canadian Shield and Labrador coast (visible during initial eastbound climb over eastern Canada), the Grand Banks southeast of Newfoundland (fishing grounds, often marked by cloud formations), the Mid-Atlantic Ridge (not visible, but the flight path crosses above it), the Irish continental shelf west of Ireland, and the approach to the Irish coast near County Clare and the Cliffs of Moher region (visible on descent into Dublin from the west).
