Montreal to Dublin flight path: YUL to DUB

Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Montreal to Dublin. While the right side offers excellent Montreal departure views, the left side captures the dramatic approach to Dublin over the Irish coastline and bay—a more visually distinctive finale to the transatlantic crossing. The landing views outweigh the takeoff advantage.

During takeoff from Montreal International Dorval (YUL), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right-side seats offer views of the St. Lawrence River and the Laurentian Mountains as the aircraft climbs northeastward out of Montreal. The river's distinctive meanders and the forested ridge line of the Laurentians are clearly visible during the initial climb phase. Notable sights include: St. Lawrence River, Laurentian Mountains, Montreal urban sprawl, Île Perrot.

When landing at Dublin (DUB), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left-side seats provide excellent views during the descent approach to Dublin. Passengers will see the Irish coastline, Dublin Bay, and the city's urban landscape as the aircraft descends on a westerly approach vector into Dublin Airport. Notable sights include: Dublin Bay, Irish coastline (Howth Peninsula and Dun Laoghaire), River Liffey, Dublin city center.

The flight from Montreal International Dorval (YUL) to Dublin (DUB) takes about 6 hours 50 minutes. The shortest flight path between them is 2,964 miles (4,770 km); winds and air traffic control usually add a few percent.

The flight path crosses the Canadian Maritime provinces (Nova Scotia and Newfoundland coastlines visible during early stages), then the North Atlantic with occasional views of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge region, before approaching Ireland over the Atlantic swell patterns and finally the Irish coastline near County Wicklow and Dublin Bay.
