BHX โ DBV
Which side of the plane to sit from Birmingham International Airport (Birmingham) to Dubrovnik Airport (Dubrovnik)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular vantage point for the highest peaks of the Western Alps, including Mont Blanc, and provides the iconic aerial view of Dubrovnik's Old Town during the final approach.

Mont Blanc
The highest peak in the Alps is often visible in the distance as the flight crosses eastern France toward Switzerland.
Italian Lakes
Glittering views of Lake Maggiore or Lake Como as the flight transitions from the Alps to the Po Valley.
Dalmatian Islands
An incredible sequence of turquoise waters and islands including Braฤ, Hvar, and the lush forests of Mljet.
Dubrovnik Old Town
The absolute highlight; on a standard Runway 11 approach, the terracotta roofs and medieval walls are perfectly visible.
Lokrum Island
A bird's-eye view of the botanical gardens and monastery on this small island just off the coast of the historic center.
Book a window seat on the right for the iconic 'Dubrovnik approach'. For afternoon flights, the sun will be behind you, lighting up the Croatian coast perfectly. Keep your camera ready about 10 minutes before landing when the plane begins its descent over the Adriatic islands.

The English Channel
Clear views of the White Cliffs of Dover and the busy shipping lanes between the UK and France.
Swiss Alps
Panoramic views of the Bernese Oberland peaks, including the Eiger and Jungfrau, often visible mid-flight.
Venice and the Lagoon
Depending on the specific airway, look out for the distinctive fish-shaped island of Venice and the surrounding salt marshes.
Dinaric Alps
The rugged, limestone mountain ranges of Croatia that run parallel to the coast as you descend.
Gruz Harbor
Views of Dubrovnik's main port and the Franjo Tudman Bridge just before touchdown.
The left side is best for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. It provides a better perspective of the mountainous Balkan interior during the final 30 minutes of the flight. If the plane lands on Runway 29 (from the south), the left side will see the Old Town instead.
