Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a spectacular vantage point over the Alps and a stunning aerial perspective of the Croatian archipelago during the descent into Zadar.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
πŸ’§

Lake Constance

The massive 'Bodensee' where the borders of Germany, Switzerland, and Austria converge.

πŸ”οΈ

Dolomites

The iconic, jagged limestone formations of the Italian Alps visible to the south.

πŸ›Ά

Venetian Lagoon

On clear days, the distant outline of Venice and its surrounding islands can be seen to the west.

🌊

Kvarner Gulf

The deep blue waters and large islands of Cres and LoΕ‘inj as you enter Croatian airspace.

🏝️

Kornati Archipelago

A stunning dense cluster of white, barren islands scattered across the turquoise Adriatic Sea.

The right side is the clear winner for the descent. Request a seat behind the wing to capture the contrast between the white karst islands and the deep blue sea. Afternoon flights provide golden-hour lighting on the islands, but be prepared for some sun glare during the middle of the flight.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🏰

Luxembourg City

Aerial view of the historic fortifications and the Alzette River valley shortly after departure.

🌲

Black Forest

Dense evergreen canopy and rolling hills of Southwestern Germany.

πŸ”οΈ

Hohe Tauern

Glaciated peaks of the Central Eastern Alps, including views towards Austria's highest mountains.

⛰️

Velebit Mountains

The massive limestone range that separates the Adriatic coast from the Croatian interior.

✈️

Zadar Approach

Clear views of the Zadar airport runways and the suburban coastal landscape upon landing.

The left side is excellent for viewing the rugged continental landscape of Croatia. For morning flights, this side will be in the shade, providing better conditions for photography without window glare.
