DBV โ FRA
Which side of the plane to sit from Dubrovnik Airport (Dubrovnik) to Frankfurt am Main Airport (Frankfurt)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is premier for this route, offering a potential iconic view of Dubrovnik's Old Town upon departure and a spectacular traverse over the highest peaks of the Julian and Austrian Alps.
Dubrovnik Old Town
A breathtaking bird's-eye view of the historic city walls and red-tiled roofs immediately after takeoff.
Dinaric Alps
The stark, rocky limestone landscapes of the Balkan interior stretching toward the horizon.
Julian Alps
Direct views of Slovenia's highest peaks, including the prominent Mount Triglav.
Austrian High Alps
Crossing the snow-capped Hohe Tauern range, featuring glaciers and deep alpine valleys.
Frankfurt Skyline
Views of the 'Mainhattan' skyscrapers and the winding Main River during the final approach into FRA.
The right side is non-negotiable for the best views of Dubrovnik; however, this depends on the wind direction and runway in use. The Alpine crossing is significantly more dramatic on this side. Ensure your window is clean, as the high-altitude glare over the snow-capped Alps can be intense in the afternoon.
Dalmatian Archipelago
Stunning views of the islands of Korฤula, Hvar, and Braฤ scattered in the turquoise Adriatic.
Adriatic Coastline
A continuous view of the rugged Croatian coast and the clear transition to deep blue waters.
Italian Dolomites
Distance views of the jagged, pale peaks of the Dolomites as the flight nears the Alps.
Venetian Lagoon
On clear days with a westerly flight path, the distinctive shape of Venice can be seen in the distance.
Upper Bavaria
The green rolling hills and traditional villages of southern Germany during the descent.
Sit on the left for better lighting during morning flights, as the sun will be on the opposite side. This side is ideal for spotting the Adriatic's deep blue hues without cabin glare. Watch for the Istrian Peninsula about 30-40 minutes into the flight.
