DBV โ HAM
Which side of the plane to sit from Dubrovnik Airport (Dubrovnik) to Hamburg Airport (Hamburg)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers an unparalleled view of the Dalmatian coast and its vast archipelago immediately after takeoff, followed by a stunning crossing of the Austrian Alps and the Bavarian lake district.
Search flights from DBV to HAM
Dalmatian Archipelago
Spectacular views of Hvar, Braฤ, and Korฤula islands set against the deep turquoise Adriatic Sea.
Velebit Mountains
The largest mountain range in Croatia, where the karst rock meets the sea in a dramatic coastline.
Lake Chiemsee
Known as the 'Bavarian Sea,' this large lake features the Herrenchiemsee palace on its central island.
Harz Mountains
The Brocken peak often stands out above the clouds as you transition into Northern Germany.
Port of Hamburg
On the final approach, the massive container terminals and the Elbe River are frequently visible.
Sit on the right for the iconic 'island hopping' view during the first 30 minutes. Request a seat forward of the wing to avoid heat haze from the engines blurring your photos of the Croatian coast. If landing toward the south at HAM, the right side provides a breathtaking view of the Alster lakes and the city center's copper-roofed churches.

Elafiti Islands
A cluster of pristine islands near Dubrovnik visible immediately after climbing out of DBV.
Julian Alps
Dramatic views of Triglav and the jagged limestone peaks of the Slovenian Alpine range.
Hohe Tauern
The central spine of the Austrian Alps, featuring the Grossglockner, Austria's highest peak.
Munich Skyline
On clear days, the Allianz Arena and the urban sprawl of the Bavarian capital are visible to the west.
Thuringian Forest
The dense green canopy of central Germany's famous hiking and winter sports region.
The left side is superior for viewing the highest Alpine peaks and the sunset if flying in the evening. For the best Alpine photography, sit behind the wing to capture the scale of the mountains against the aircraft's silhouette. Watch for the sudden transition from the blue Adriatic to the snow-capped mountains roughly 40 minutes into the flight.
