Which side of the plane to sit from Dubrovnik Airport (Dubrovnik) to Zürich Airport (Zurich)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior mix of rugged coastal mountain ranges and a traverse over the highest parts of the Julian and Austrian Alps, concluding with views of Lake Constance.
Dubrovnik Old Town
Potential views of the red-roofed city and its medieval walls if departing toward the northwest.
Dinaric Alps
The stark, white limestone peaks of the Biokovo and Velebit ranges along the Croatian coast.
Julian Alps
Look for Mount Triglav, Slovenia's highest peak, surrounded by dense pine forests.
Austrian High Alps
Spectacular views of the Hohe Tauern range and potentially the Grossglockner glacier.
Lake Constance
The massive 'Bodensee' marking the border between Austria, Germany, and Switzerland.
Appenzell Foothills
The quintessential rolling green hills and traditional Swiss landscapes just before landing.
The right side is unbeatable for mountain enthusiasts. Try to secure a seat well ahead of or behind the wing to capture the transition from the Mediterranean coast to the snow-capped Alpine peaks. Best during afternoon flights when the sun illuminates the mountains from the west.
Elaphiti Archipelago
Clear views of Koločep, Lopud, and Šipan islands immediately after takeoff from Dubrovnik.
Central Dalmatian Islands
Aerial perspective of the elongated islands of Hvar, Korčula, and the remote Vis.
Northern Adriatic Coast
On clear days, the Istrian Peninsula and the distant Venetian lagoon are visible to the west.
Glarus Alps
Dramatic glaciated peaks of eastern Switzerland as the aircraft begins its descent.
Lake Zurich
A stunning view of the silver-blue lake and the 'Gold Coast' villages during the final approach.
Sit on the left for morning flights to keep the sun behind you, providing better conditions for photography of the Croatian islands. This side is also best for seeing the length of Lake Zurich during the standard approach to Runway 14.
