Which side of the plane to sit from Dubrovnik Airport (Dubrovnik) to Berlin-Tegel Airport (Berlin)?

Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side is superior for its iconic bird's-eye view of Dubrovnik's Old Town immediately after takeoff, followed by a dramatic traversal of the Dinaric Alps and the glistening lakes of Upper Austria.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
🏛️

Dubrovnik Old Town

The world-famous red roofs and medieval limestone walls of the 'Pearl of the Adriatic' visible during the initial climb.

⛰️

Velebit Massif

The longest mountain range in Croatia, featuring stark karst topography and rugged white peaks.

💧

Salzkammergut Lakes

Breathtaking views of Lake Attersee and Traunsee nestled among the northern limestone Alps.

🗼

Berlin Cityscape

A panoramic view of the TV Tower, Spree River, and the dense urban grid of Berlin during the final approach.

The right side is essential for the Dubrovnik departure; check the wind direction as a 'Bora' wind may change the takeoff path. Keep your camera ready in the first 5 minutes. For the Berlin arrival, the right side often provides a clearer view of the central Mitte district.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🏝️

Elafiti Islands

A stunning cluster of green islands scattered across the turquoise Adriatic Sea shortly after departure.

🏔️

Hohe Tauern Range

Glaciated peaks of the High Alps, including views toward the Grossglockner massif in Austria.

🏰

Prague Panorama

On clear days, the spires and bridges of the Czech capital are visible as you cross into Central Europe.

🌲

Erzgebirge Mountains

The dense, rolling forests of the Ore Mountains marking the border between Czechia and Germany.

To capture the Adriatic's gradient colors, book a morning flight when the sun is behind the plane. Choose a seat forward of the wing (Rows 1-10) to ensure the engine doesn't block the view of the Austrian Alpine valleys.
