DBV โ†’ BRU

Which side of the plane to sit from Dubrovnik Airport (Dubrovnik) to Brussels Airport (Brussels)?

Our Recommendation
8.7

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior view of the Dalmatian islands upon departure and a more direct look at the high Alpine peaks and the Rhine Valley.

Left Side Highlights
8.7
๐Ÿฐ

Dubrovnik Old Town

Immediately after takeoff, witness the iconic red roofs and stone walls of the UNESCO site.

๐Ÿ๏ธ

Dalmatian Archipelago

Look down at the turquoise waters surrounding islands like Korฤula and Hvar.

๐Ÿ”๏ธ

Central Alps

High-altitude views of the jagged, snow-dusted peaks across Austria and Switzerland.

๐Ÿท

Rhine Valley

The winding river and vineyard-covered hills of southern and western Germany.

๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ช

Brussels Skyline

On descent, spot the Atomium and the dense urban layout of the Belgian capital.

Choose a window seat on the left (typically 'A') for the most iconic views. The departure from DBV is world-class; ensure your camera is ready within the first 5 minutes. As you cross the Alps, the left side typically faces the more dramatic, sun-drenched southern slopes. For late afternoon flights, expect a beautiful sunset over the French/Belgian border.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
โ›ฐ๏ธ

Velebit Mountains

The rugged limestone peaks of the Dinaric Alps stretching along the Croatian coast.

๐Ÿ”๏ธ

Northern Limestone Alps

Impressive views of the sheer rock faces in the Austrian Alps.

๐Ÿฅจ

Bavarian Plateau

Neat patches of forest and farmland characteristic of Southern Germany.

โœˆ๏ธ

Frankfurt Region

Distanced views of one of Europe's busiest aviation hubs and its skyline.

The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. While you miss the immediate coastal islands, you get a better view of the mountainous interior of Croatia. Keep an eye out for the transition from the rugged Alps to the flat, manicured landscapes of the Low Countries during the final third of the flight.
