Which side of the plane to sit from Dubrovnik Airport (Dubrovnik) to Newcastle Airport (Newcastle)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular departure over the Dalmatian coast and the walled city of Dubrovnik, followed by a direct traverse over the highest peaks of the Austrian and German Alps and a scenic approach along the English east coast.
Dubrovnik Old Town
An unparalleled view of the UNESCO World Heritage site's red-tiled roofs and stone walls if taking off toward the northwest.
Dinaric Alps
The rugged, limestone karst mountain range that runs along the Balkan Peninsula, offering dramatic vertical relief.
Central Alps
Direct views over the highest peaks of Austria and Southern Germany, including the Zugspitze region.
Lake Constance
The massive 'Bodensee' where Germany, Switzerland, and Austria meet, clearly visible from cruising altitude.
North Sea Coastline
The dramatic cliffs and beaches of the East Norfolk and Yorkshire coasts as the plane begins its descent.
Angel of the North
Keep a sharp eye out during the final approach into NCL for Anthony Gormley's iconic rust-colored sculpture.
For the best chance to see Dubrovnik's Old Town, hope for a departure on Runway 30. During the descent, the right side provides excellent views of the North York Moors and the rugged Northumberland coastline. Afternoon flights provide the best lighting for photography of the Alps on this side.
Elafiti Islands
A stunning cluster of evergreen islands scattered across the turquoise Adriatic Sea immediately after takeoff.
Swiss Alps
Distal views of the jagged, snow-capped peaks of the Western Alps and the Swiss-Italian border region.
Greater Paris
On clear days, the sprawling metropolitan area of Paris and the winding Seine River can be spotted to the west.
London Landmarks
Aerial views of the Thames Estuary and the London skyline, including the Shard and O2 Arena, depending on the air corridor.
The Peak District
The rolling green hills and moorlands of central England as the flight heads north toward Newcastle.
Sit on the left for softer lighting during northbound morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. This side is better for spotting the sprawling urban centers of Western Europe and the distinctive geography of the English Midlands.
