Which side of the plane to sit from Billund Airport (Billund) to Zadar Airport (Zadar)?

Our Recommendation
8.9

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.
