Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side is superior for this route as it provides a front-row seat to the stunning Dalmatian archipelago and the world-famous red roofs of Dubrovnik's Old Town upon landing.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏙️

Barcelona Departure

Aerial views of the Eixample grid and the Sagrada Família shortly after takeoff from El Prat.

🌊

Gulf of Lion

Sweeping views of the Mediterranean as the plane tracks along the southern French maritime border.

⛰️

Cap Corse

The rugged northern finger of Corsica visible across the deep blue waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea.

🏔️

Central Apennines

Snow-capped Italian peaks as the flight crosses the mountainous spine of Italy.

🏝️

Dalmatian Islands

A stunning mosaic of islands including Hvar, Korčula, and Mljet during the descent into Croatia.

🏰

Dubrovnik Old Town

The iconic medieval walled city is often visible on the left side during the final approach path.

Book a window seat on the left side to maximize views of the Croatian islands. For the best photography, choose a morning flight when the sun illuminates the coastline from the east. If the aircraft approaches from the northwest, the view of the Old Town is particularly spectacular.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🚢

Strait of Bonifacio

The narrow passage between Corsica and Sardinia featuring turquoise waters and rocky cliffs.

🏛️

Rome & Lazio

Distant views of the Eternal City and the Tyrrhenian coastline of central Italy.

🌄

Gran Sasso

The highest peaks of the Apennines visible to the south during the trans-peninsular crossing.

🛥️

Adriatic Sea

Vast expanse of deep blue water dotted with international ferries and private yachts.

⛰️

Montenegrin Alps

The dramatic limestone mountains of the Balkan interior visible to the southeast on arrival.

The right side is ideal for spotting the Italian capital and the rugged mountains of the Abruzzo region. During late afternoon flights, this side provides a view of the sunset over the Adriatic, though window glare may be an issue for photography.
