Which side of the plane to sit from Dubrovnik Airport (Dubrovnik) to London Gatwick Airport (London)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a front-row seat to the iconic Dubrovnik Old Town upon departure, followed by the breathtaking turquoise waters of the Dalmatian coast and the majestic higher peaks of the Swiss Alps.
Dubrovnik Old Town
Shortly after takeoff, look down to see the medieval stone walls and terracotta roofs of the Pearl of the Adriatic.
Dalmatian Archipelago
Sweeping views of the Elafiti Islands, Mljet, and KorΔula surrounded by crystal-clear blue waters.
Swiss and French Alps
As you cruise over Central Europe, the snow-capped giants of the Western Alps, including Mont Blanc, appear on the horizon.
Greater Paris
On clear northern tracks, the sprawling urban layout of Paris and the Eiffel Tower may be visible in the distance.
English Channel
The crossing from mainland Europe toward the British coast, often featuring views of the Seven Sisters chalk cliffs.
For the best experience, choose a seat ahead of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Dubrovnik coastline. Morning flights provide the best lighting for the Adriatic Sea without the glare of the afternoon sun. Watch for the sharp turn after takeoff which often banks the plane to showcase the city harbor.
Dinaric Alps
Rugged limestone mountain ranges stretching across Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina during the initial climb.
Austrian Alps
Panoramic views of the Hohe Tauern range and jagged peaks of the Eastern Alps.
Rhine River
The winding industrial and historical artery of Europe as the flight crosses into Germany and the Benelux region.
Brussels
The dense urban center of the Belgian capital is often visible during the mid-flight cruise.
The High Weald
Lush green rolling hills and ancient woodland of the Kent and Sussex countryside during the final approach to Gatwick.
The right side is excellent for mountain enthusiasts, offering a more prolonged view of the Alpine interior. During the descent into Gatwick, this side often provides better views of the Surrey and Kent countryside if the aircraft is put into a holding pattern over the Biggin Hill or Ockham stacks.
