Which side of the plane to sit from Düsseldorf Airport (Duesseldorf) to Dubrovnik Airport (Dubrovnik)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side offers an unparalleled panorama of the turquoise Adriatic coast and the labyrinth of Croatian islands, culminating in a potentially world-class view of Dubrovnik's Old Town walls upon arrival.

Middle Rhine Valley
The winding river lined with vineyards and historic castles south of Bonn.
Central Alpine Peaks
Spectacular vistas of the snow-capped Austrian and Italian Alps and the jagged Dolomites.
Dalmatian Archipelago
The stunning sight of thousands of islands like Hvar, Brač, and Korčula dotting the deep blue Adriatic.
Kvarner Gulf
The transition from the mainland to the sea near the Istrian Peninsula and the city of Rijeka.
Dubrovnik Old Town
If landing on Runway 11, the right side often gets the iconic view of the red-roofed medieval city and its walls.
The Right Side is the clear winner for scenic value. Sit behind the wing to ensure your view of the Dalmatian coast isn't obstructed. On the final descent into DBV, stay alert; the pilot often makes a bank that provides a perfect photo opportunity of the Old Town. Flights in the late afternoon offer the best lighting for the turquoise waters.

Frankfurt Skyline
Look east shortly after takeoff to spot the skyscrapers of Germany's financial capital.
Eastern Alps
Aerial views of the rugged Hohe Tauern range, including the peak of the Großglockner in Austria.
Dinaric Alps
Observe the harsh, limestone karst landscape of the Balkan interior as you cross into Croatia.
Ruhr Metropolis
The dense industrial and urban sprawl of the Rhine-Ruhr area immediately after departure from DUS.
The left side provides a better view of the inland mountain ranges. Choose a morning flight to avoid direct glare from the sun, which will be positioned to the south and east during the journey. If the plane lands from the south (Runway 29), you may see the Montenegro coastline in the distance.
