DBV β EDI
Which side of the plane to sit from Dubrovnik Airport (Dubrovnik) to Edinburgh Airport (Edinburgh)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior perspective of the high Austrian Alps, the deep blue Dalmatian archipelago during departure, and the iconic Firth of Forth bridges upon arrival in Edinburgh.
Dalmatian Archipelago
Unrivaled views of the elongated islands of Mljet and KorΔula set against the deep azure of the Adriatic Sea.
High Tauern Alps
Direct views of Austria's highest glaciated peaks, including the Grossglockner massif.
Rhine River Valley
The winding river through Germany, dotted with historic castles and steep vineyard-covered hillsides.
North Sea Coastline
The dramatic transition from the European mainland across the water toward the British Isles.
Scottish Borders
The green, rolling hills and historic estates marking the entry into Scottish airspace.
Firth of Forth
On a typical approach to Runway 24, catch the world-famous Forth Rail Bridge and the city of Edinburgh.
The right side is essential for the best Alpine scenery. For the arrival into EDI, this side frequently offers a spectacular panorama of the city center and the sea. If flying in the morning, the sun will be on the opposite side, providing perfect lighting for photography of the mountains.
Elaphiti Islands
Breathtaking views of the lush green islands scattered just off the coast of Dubrovnik immediately after takeoff.
Julian Alps
The jagged limestone peaks of Slovenia and Northeastern Italy providing a dramatic transition into Central Europe.
Lake Constance
The vast expanse of the Bodensee, where the borders of Germany, Switzerland, and Austria meet.
London Skyline
On clear days with a southerly routing, the distant skyscrapers of the City and Canary Wharf are visible to the west.
The Pennines
The rugged 'backbone of England' featuring rolling moors and valleys as the flight heads north toward Scotland.
Sit toward the front to avoid wing obstruction of the Croatian coastline. This side is better for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun as it moves west. Watch for the sudden change from the turquoise Adriatic to the snowy Alpine peaks about 45 minutes into the flight.
