Which side of the plane to sit from Dubrovnik Airport (Dubrovnik) to Lille-Lesquin Airport (Lille)?

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the Dubrovnik coastline upon departure, followed by the dramatic jagged peaks of the Dolomites and the extensive Alpine range before crossing into Northern Europe.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏰

Dubrovnik Old Town

Depending on takeoff direction, the iconic terracotta roofs and medieval walls of the 'Pearl of the Adriatic' appear shortly after lift-off.

⛰️

Dinaric Alps

The rugged, karst limestone mountain range stretching across Croatia and Bosnia provides a stark, dramatic landscape early in the flight.

🏔️

Italian Dolomites

A major highlight featuring the distinctive, jagged vertical peaks and pale rock formations of this UNESCO World Heritage site.

💧

Lake Constance

The massive 'Bodensee' where Germany, Switzerland, and Austria meet is often visible during the transition into Central Europe.

🌲

Ardennes Forest

Dense green forests and winding river valleys mark the approach through the border regions of Belgium and France.

The right side is essential for the best mountain views. Aim for a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. For the Dubrovnik city view, look out immediately after takeoff if the plane departs towards the northwest (RWY 29).

🌊

Adriatic Archipelago

Stunning views of the deep blue Adriatic Sea and the scattered islands of the Dalmatian coast shortly after takeoff.

🇮🇹

Venetian Lagoon

On a clear day, the unique layout of Venice and its surrounding islands is visible as the flight tracks across the top of the Adriatic.

🏔️

Mont Blanc & Western Alps

As the flight crosses towards France, look for the snow-capped massif of Mont Blanc in the distance.

🥂

Champagne Region

The sprawling vineyards and rolling hills surrounding Reims and Epernay provide a patchwork landscape below.

Sit on the left for better lighting during morning flights, as the sun will be behind you. This side is ideal for spotting the Italian coastline and the industrial heart of Eastern France as you descend into Lille.
