BLL โ ZAD
Which side of the plane to sit from Billund Airport (Billund) to Zadar Airport (Zadar)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior sequence of views, starting with the North German plains and transitioning into the breathtaking jagged peaks of the Dolomites before concluding with a stunning descent over the turquoise waters and white limestone islands of the Adriatic Sea.
Elbe River Valley
Aerial views of the winding Elbe river and the industrial landscape of northern Germany.
The Dolomites
The iconic, sharp-toothed limestone peaks of the Italian and Austrian border region.
Istrian Peninsula
The distinctive triangular shape of Istria jutting into the blue Adriatic Sea.
Kornati Archipelago
A stunning collection of nearly 150 islands and reefs characterized by white cliffs and clear water.
The right side is unbeatable for the approach into Zadar. Ask for a window seat to see the Kvarner Gulf and the Kornati islands. During late afternoon flights, you will experience a golden hour glow over the Adriatic, but be aware of potential glare from the setting sun.
Lรผneburg Heath
Vast purple-hued heathlands and nature reserves of Lower Saxony visible shortly after departure.
Bohemian Forest
Dense, ancient woodlands along the German-Czech border offering lush green panoramas.
Hohe Tauern National Park
Spectacular views of Austria's highest peaks, including the snow-capped Grossglockner.
Velebit Range
The rugged, karst limestone mountains of Croatia that signal the approach to Zadar.
Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you and capture clear photos of the Austrian Alps. This side provides a more dramatic perspective of the inland mountain ranges of Slovenia and Croatia during the final descent.
