DUB โ†’ DBV

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

Our Recommendation
9.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side is exceptional for its path over the high Swiss Alps and the world-class final approach offering a direct view of Dubrovnik's walled Old Town.

Right Side Highlights
9.2
๐Ÿ–๏ธ

English South Coast

Clear views of the Isle of Wight and the white cliffs along the English Channel.

๐Ÿ”๏ธ

Swiss Alps Peaks

Magnificent views of the highest snow-capped peaks in Europe, often including the Mont Blanc massif.

๐Ÿ›ถ

Venetian Lagoon

The unique geometry of Venice and its surrounding islands visible as the flight crosses the Adriatic.

๐Ÿ๏ธ

Dalmatian Islands

A stunning mosaic of turquoise water and white-stone islands like Hvar, Korฤula, and Mljet.

๐Ÿฐ

Dubrovnik Old Town

A breathtaking view of the iconic medieval walls and terracotta roofs just moments before touchdown.

Request a seat forward of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Alps and the Dalmatian coastline. On the standard approach to Runway 11, the right side provides the 'money shot' of the Old Town. Afternoon flights offer the best lighting for photography as the sun illuminates the Adriatic islands from the west.

Left Side Highlights
7.4
๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ช

Dublin Bay

Aerial perspectives of the Poolbeg Chimneys and the curve of the Irish coastline during departure.

๐Ÿ™๏ธ

Greater London

Distances views of the Thames Estuary and the dense urban sprawl of the UK's capital city.

Austrian & Julian Alps

Vistas of the eastern stretches of the Alps, featuring jagged limestone peaks and deep valleys.

๐ŸŒฒ

Dinaric Alps

The wild, forested ridges of Bosnia and Herzegovina and inland Croatia during the initial descent.

The left side is best for morning flights to avoid direct solar glare. Watch for the transition from the flat European plains to the sudden rise of the Alps midway through the flight. During the final approach to DBV, you will see the rugged limestone interior of the Konavle region.
