Which side of the plane to sit from Dubrovnik Airport (Dubrovnik) to Rijeka Airport (Rijeka)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a front-row seat to the stunning Dalmatian coastline, historic coastal cities, and the dramatic Dinaric Alps meeting the Adriatic Sea.
Dubrovnik Old Town
Immediately after takeoff, catch a glimpse of the iconic stone walls and terracotta roofs.
Biokovo Mountain
A massive limestone mountain range that drops vertically into the turquoise Makarska Riviera.
Split & Kaštela Bay
Aerial view of the ancient city centered around Diocletian's Palace and the bustling harbor.
Pag Island
Observe the stark, white, moon-like landscape and the geometric patterns of the salt pans.
Velebit Range
The longest mountain range in Croatia, creating a dramatic backdrop for the northern Adriatic islands.
The right side is significantly more scenic for this coastal hop. Aim for a morning flight for the best lighting on the mountains. Be ready with your camera immediately after takeoff for Dubrovnik and again near the end of the flight for the striking Krk Bridge and the Kvarner Gulf islands.
Mljet National Park
Look for the deep green forests and the two saltwater lakes nestled within the island interior.
Vis Island
One of the most remote islands, visible as a solitary gem in the deep blue Adriatic.
Kornati Archipelago
A breathtaking sight of over 100 densely packed, mostly uninhabited islands and islets.
Cres and Lošinj
The elongated islands of the Kvarner Gulf with their hidden coves and narrow channels.
Choose the left side for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the setting sun over the sea. This side is ideal for spotting remote islands and the deep blue horizon of the Adriatic. On exceptionally clear winter days, you might catch a faint silhouette of the Italian coastline across the water.
