CDG → DBV
Which side of the plane to sit from Charles de Gaulle International Airport (Paris) to Dubrovnik Airport (Dubrovnik)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side is the clear winner for this route, providing a spectacular sequence that includes views of the high Alps, the Italian Lake District, and most importantly, the iconic aerial panorama of the Dubrovnik Old Town during the final approach.

Paris Skyline
On a clear day with a southerly takeoff, catch the Eiffel Tower and Parisian monuments in the distance.
Mont Blanc
Pass near the highest peak in Europe, providing a majestic view of the massif and the Aosta Valley.
Italian Lakes
Stunning aerial views of Lake Maggiore and Lake Como nestled against the southern foothills of the Alps.
Dalmatian Archipelago
Enjoy a bird's-eye view of the crystal clear Adriatic waters and islands like Hvar, Brač, and Korčula.
Dubrovnik Old Town
The ultimate highlight: a direct view of the medieval city walls and Lokrum Island during the final approach into DBV.
The right side is essential for the 'money shot' of Dubrovnik's red roofs and city walls. Book an afternoon flight for the best lighting on the Croatian coast. Ensure you are seated forward of the wing to prevent the engine and wing from blocking the view of the Old Town during the steep turn into the runway.

CDG Departure
View the intricate layout of one of Europe's largest aviation hubs as you climb out of the Paris basin.
Swiss Alps
Glimpse the northern reaches of the Alps with snow-capped peaks and the sprawling Lake Geneva in the distance.
Venetian Lagoon
Depending on the specific ATC routing, you may see the unique shape of Venice and its surrounding islands to the north.
Dinaric Alps
As you enter Croatian airspace, enjoy the rugged, limestone karst topography of the inland mountain ranges.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare. While you miss the direct view of the Dubrovnik Old Town on landing, you get a much better perspective of the rugged mountainous border between Croatia, Bosnia, and Montenegro during the descent.
