Which side of the plane to sit from Barcelona International Airport (Barcelona) to Dubrovnik Airport (Dubrovnik)?
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.
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.
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.
