Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side is superior for this route as it offers an immediate, breathtaking view of the Dubrovnik Old Town and the Dalmatian coastline upon takeoff, followed by the jagged Dolomites and a potential aerial view of London during the descent.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
๐Ÿฐ

Dubrovnik Old Town

Unrivaled views of the medieval city walls and the 'Pearl of the Adriatic' shortly after departure.

๐Ÿ๏ธ

Dalmatian Archipelago

A mosaic of emerald islands including Braฤ, Hvar, and Korฤula set against deep blue waters.

โ›ฐ๏ธ

The Dolomites

Dramatic, jagged limestone peaks of the Italian Alps offering a stark contrast to the coastline.

๐Ÿ™๏ธ

Greater London

On clear days, the entire London skyline including the Shard and the Thames is visible as you fly north.

๐ŸŒณ

The National Forest

Lush green landscapes of the English Midlands during the low-altitude approach to East Midlands Airport.

Ensure you are seated in front of the wing to capture the iconic Dubrovnik Old Town view, which occurs within minutes of takeoff if departing to the north. For late afternoon flights, be prepared for some glare as the sun moves west, but the golden hour lighting on the limestone Alps is exceptional.

Left Side Highlights
7.9
๐ŸŒŠ

Venetian Lagoon

Aerial perspective of the intricate islands and historic waterways surrounding Venice, Italy.

๐Ÿ”๏ธ

Central Swiss Alps

Stunning views of the high glaciated peaks of the Bernese Oberland and Lake Geneva region.

๐Ÿ‡

Champagne Region

The meticulously patterned vineyards of northern France stretching toward the horizon.

๐Ÿ–๏ธ

The English Channel

Views of the French 'Opal Coast' and the busy maritime traffic in the world's busiest shipping lane.

Sit on the left for softer lighting during morning flights, as the sun will be on the opposite side. This side is better for spotting the vastness of the Swiss Alps. During the final approach into EMA, look for the Trent Valley and the power stations that define the local industrial landscape.
