BRU β DBV
Which side of the plane to sit from Brussels Airport (Brussels) to Dubrovnik Airport (Dubrovnik)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a superior sequence of views, starting with the snow-capped Alps, moving to the intricate Venetian Lagoon, and finishing with a breathtaking aerial perspective of Dubrovnik's historic Old Town during the final approach.
The Alps
Fly over the dramatic peaks of the Swiss and Austrian Alps, offering views of glaciers and deep valleys.
Venetian Lagoon
Look down to see the unique fish-shaped layout of Venice and its surrounding islands in the turquoise lagoon.
Istrian Peninsula
The rugged, heart-shaped coastline of northern Croatia becomes visible as you cross the Adriatic.
Dalmatian Coast
Follow the limestone mountains of the Velebit range meeting the sapphire waters of the Adriatic Sea.
Dubrovnik Old Town
On the final descent into Runway 11, you get a world-class view of the medieval walls and red roofs of the city.
Choose a window seat on the left (Seat A) to see the Old Town of Dubrovnik during the landing phase. For morning flights, the sun will be behind you or to the right, providing perfect lighting for photography of the Alps and the Croatian coastline.
Western Alps
Distanced views of high peaks like Mont Blanc and the Matterhorn on the western horizon.
Italian Riviera
The long, sandy stretches of the Italian Adriatic coast near Rimini and Ancona are visible across the water.
The Adriatic Sea
Vast expanses of deep blue water dotted with cargo ships and cruise liners heading to Mediterranean ports.
Elafiti Islands
A beautiful cluster of green islands surrounded by crystal clear water just before the plane touches down.
Sunlight Glow
On late afternoon flights, enjoy the warm golden hour light reflecting off the Adriatic waves.
The right side is better if you prefer to avoid the direct morning sun. While you miss the direct view of the Old Town on most approaches, you get a wider view of the Adriatic archipelago and the outer islands like Mljet and KorΔula.
