DBV โ†’ ORY

Which side of the plane to sit from Dubrovnik Airport (Dubrovnik) to Paris-Orly Airport (Paris)?

Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides the most iconic views of the Croatian coastline during departure and the best probability of seeing the Paris skyline during landing.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
๐Ÿ๏ธ

Dalmatian Archipelago

Breathtaking views of the islands of Braฤ, Hvar, and Korฤula immediately after takeoff from DBV.

๐Ÿ”๏ธ

Mont Blanc

The highest peak in Western Europe is often visible during the alpine crossing into France.

๐Ÿ’ง

Lake Geneva

The distinct crescent shape of the lake and the city of Geneva are major landmarks on this side.

๐Ÿ—ผ

Paris Skyline

The Eiffel Tower and central Paris landmarks are frequently visible during the final descent into Orly.

The right side is highly recommended for the initial 20 minutes and the final 10 minutes of the flight. Sit behind the wing to ensure your view of the Croatian islands and the Eiffel Tower is not obstructed. For the best lighting on the scenery, choose a late morning or early afternoon flight.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
๐ŸŒŠ

Adriatic Sea

Vast views of the deep blue sea and the distant Italian horizon during the initial cruise phase.

๐Ÿ”๏ธ

Bernese Alps

Spectacular snow-capped peaks of Switzerland visible during the transition into French airspace.

๐Ÿท

French Vineyards

Aerial patterns of the famous wine-producing regions of Burgundy and Central France.

Expect direct sunlight on the left side during morning flights, which may cause glare. This side is better for viewing the high Alps if the flight path tracks slightly further north. Always check the weather for cloud cover over the mountains before selecting.
