Which side of the plane to sit from Dubrovnik Airport (Dubrovnik) to Osijek Airport (Osijek)?

Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The Left Side provides a more diverse visual experience, featuring the dramatic transition from the Adriatic coastline and the Pelješac Peninsula to the jagged peaks of Central Bosnia and the Sarajevo valley.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

Pelješac Peninsula

Visible shortly after takeoff, showing the long, narrow strip of land and the nearby islands of Korčula and Mljet.

🏞️

Neretva River Delta

The intricate patchwork of agricultural fields and waterways where the Neretva meets the Adriatic.

🏔️

Prenj Mountain Massif

Known as the 'Bosnian Himalayas', this rugged range features sharp limestone peaks and deep glacial valleys.

🏙️

Sarajevo Valley

On clear days, the capital city of Bosnia and Herzegovina and its surrounding Olympic mountains come into view.

🌾

Sava River Crossing

The wide, meandering river marking the border between Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia's Slavonia region.

For the best experience, choose a seat behind the wing to avoid engine obstruction. On afternoon flights, the sun will be behind the aircraft or on the left, making for high-contrast mountain photography. Look for the distinctive white peaks of the Dinaric Alps mid-flight.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
⛰️

Konavle Valley

The lush green valley immediately surrounding Dubrovnik Airport, bordered by high limestone ridges.

🌲

Sutjeska National Park

Home to Maglić, the highest peak in Bosnia, and one of the last primary rainforests in Europe.

💧

Drina River Canyon

A deep emerald-green river carving through steep limestone cliffs along the border with Serbia.

🌳

Majevica Mountain

A low-lying forested mountain range that serves as the last vertical obstacle before the Pannonian plains.

🏢

Osijek Cityscape

As the plane descends, the Tvrđa (citadel) and the Cathedral of St. Peter and St. Paul are visible on the approach.

The right side is excellent for morning flights as the sun rises in the east, illuminating the deep canyons of the Drina. During the final descent into Osijek, keep an eye out for the vast sunflower and corn fields of Slavonia, which create a golden-green grid pattern.
