CDG โ TIV
Which side of the plane to sit from Charles de Gaulle International Airport (Paris) to Tivat Airport (Tivat)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides are exceptional due to the Alps crossing, the Right Side wins for the spectacular final approach into the Bay of Kotor, often cited as one of the most scenic landings in Europe.
Paris Landmarks
A potential view of the Eiffel Tower and the Seine if departing toward the south or west.
Mont Blanc
The highest peak in the Alps often towers visibly to the south as you cross the French-Italian border.
Italian Riviera
The sandy coastline of the Italian Adriatic near Rimini and Ancona before heading across open water.
Bay of Kotor Entrance
Dramatic views of the narrow Verige Strait and the medieval fortifications surrounding the bay.
Porto Montenegro
A low-altitude view of the luxury superyacht marina just seconds before touchdown at Tivat.
The right side is essential for the 'Boka' approach. Most flights perform a sweeping turn over the Bay of Kotor; the right side looks directly down into the fjord-like scenery. Aim for a window seat away from the wing for an unobstructed view of the steep mountains meeting the sea.
Champagne Region
Lush vineyard landscapes of eastern France shortly after departing Paris.
Swiss Alps
A northern perspective of the massive snow-capped peaks and glacial valleys of Switzerland.
Venetian Lagoon
Distinctive views of the historic city of Venice and its surrounding islands as you reach the Adriatic.
Dalmatian Archipelago
A stunning sequence of Croatian islands like Hvar and Braฤ against the turquoise Adriatic Sea.
Mount Lovฤen
The rugged, dark limestone peaks of Montenegro's iconic national park during the final descent.
Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you, providing optimal lighting for photos of the Croatian coastline. This side is better for seeing the density of the Dalmatian islands before the plane banks for the final approach.
