Which side of the plane to sit from Dubrovnik Airport (Dubrovnik) to Helsinki Vantaa Airport (Helsinki)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular view of the Dubrovnik Old Town shortly after takeoff and provides the most scenic perspective of the Finnish archipelago during the approach to Helsinki.
Dubrovnik Old Town
On most departures, the right side gets a breathtaking view of the iconic red-roofed city and its ancient walls.
High Tatra Mountains
Dramatic, jagged peaks on the border of Slovakia and Poland, often snow-capped well into spring.
Warsaw Skyline
The Vistula River and the concentrated skyscraper district of the Polish capital are often visible mid-flight.
Finnish Archipelago
A stunning mosaic of thousands of forested islands and rocky islets as the plane descends into Helsinki.
Sit on the right for the best takeoff views of Dubrovnik; if the plane departs towards the northwest, you'll see the city immediately. On arrival in Helsinki, the right side typically offers a more intimate view of the Sipoo and Helsinki archipelagos. Be mindful of direct sunlight during morning flights.
Dalmatian Archipelago
Aerial views of the deep blue Adriatic Sea and the long, thin islands characteristic of the Croatian coast.
Lake Balaton
The 'Hungarian Sea' is clearly visible as a turquoise expanse while cruising over Central Europe.
Riga and the Gulf
Views of the Latvian capital and the sweeping coastline of the Gulf of Riga as you head north.
Estonian Shoreline
The rugged western coast of Estonia and the islands of Saaremaa and Hiiumaa often visible in the distance.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the harsh eastern sun. This side is particularly good for spotting the long stretches of the Baltic coastline. During winter months, this side offers better views of the late afternoon sunsets over the Baltic Sea.
