Which side of the plane to sit from Dubrovnik Airport (Dubrovnik) to Hannover Airport (Hannover)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side of the aircraft offers a spectacular departure view of the Dubrovnik Old Town and the Adriatic coastline, followed by a stunning traverse over the heart of the Julian and Austrian Alps.
Dubrovnik Old Town
Immediately after takeoff from Runway 29, look down to see the iconic red roofs and ancient city walls of Dubrovnik.
Elaphiti Islands
A beautiful cluster of evergreen islands scattered across the turquoise Adriatic Sea just north of the city.
Julian Alps
Soaring over Slovenia, you will see the jagged limestone peaks and deep green valleys of the Julian Alps.
Grossglockner Region
Breathtaking views of the Hohe Tauern range, including Austria's highest peaks and glacial formations.
Chiemsee
The 'Bavarian Sea' is often visible as you cross into Germany, featuring the famous Herrenchiemsee Palace island.
Thuringian Forest
As you descend toward northern Germany, the dense, dark green ridges of the Thuringian Forest provide a scenic backdrop.
For the best experience, choose a morning flight to avoid the harsh glare of the afternoon sun. If the wind is coming from the West, request a seat on the left to ensure you see the Dubrovnik Old Town right after takeoff. Keep your camera ready during the first 15 minutes and the middle 30 minutes of the flight for the coastline and the Alpine crossing.
Dalmatian Coast
Continuous views of the rugged Croatian coastline and the deep blue waters of the Adriatic.
Velebit Mountains
The largest mountain range in Croatia, appearing as a massive karst barrier between the sea and the hinterland.
Salzburg Region
Views of the rolling hills and lakes of the Salzkammergut and the outskirts of Mozart's birthplace.
Danube River
Cross the mighty Danube as it snakes through southern Germany and Upper Austria.
Harz Mountains
On the final approach to Hannover, the Harz range and the Brocken peak are visible to the Southeast.
The right side is excellent for capturing the scale of the Dinaric Alps and the Austrian lake district. During late afternoon flights, this side benefits from softer, indirect light which is perfect for photography of the mountain textures without the sun flare often found on the left.
