AMS โ DBV
Which side of the plane to sit from Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (Amsterdam) to Dubrovnik Airport (Dubrovnik)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular front-row seat to the Alpine crossing followed by the breathtaking descent along the turquoise Adriatic coastline and its many islands, culminating in a view of Dubrovnik's historic Old Town.
Central Alps
A direct, magnificent view of the snow-capped central Alpine peaks during the mid-flight cruise.
Istrian Peninsula
The first sight of the sparkling Adriatic Sea as the plane crosses the coast of northern Croatia.
Dalmatian Archipelago
Uninterrupted views of the iconic islands including Hvar, Braฤ, and Korฤula scattered in the azure waters.
Dubrovnik Old Town
The world-famous red roofs and stone walls of the UNESCO-listed city are often visible during the final descent into DBV.
For the best experience, sit on the right side and hope for an approach to Runway 11. This path typically follows the coastline, providing an iconic view of the Old Town. In summer, the late afternoon light hitting the limestone cliffs is exceptional for photography.
Rhineland Cities
Aerial views of the densely populated urban centers of western Germany and the winding Rhine river.
Eastern Alps
Distal views of the rugged peaks and valleys of the Austrian and Bavarian Alpine ranges.
Dinaric Mountains
The dramatic, rocky karst landscape of the Balkan interior as you enter Croatian and Bosnian airspace.
The left side is best if you want to avoid direct sunlight during a morning flight. Keep your eyes peeled as you cross the Alps for glimpses of high-altitude glacial lakes and sharp mountain ridges.
