Which side of the plane to sit from Dubai International Airport (Dubai) to Venice Marco Polo Airport (Venice)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer stunning views of the Middle East and the Balkans, the Right Side is the clear winner for the iconic approach into Venice, providing a world-class aerial view of the historic city center.
Search flights from DXB to VCE
Burj Khalifa
Glimpse the world's tallest building and the dense cluster of skyscrapers in Downtown Dubai during the initial climb.
Lake Van
View the massive, deep blue saline lake in eastern Turkey, surrounded by volcanic peaks.
Dinaric Alps
Soar over the dramatic limestone peaks of the Balkans as you approach the final leg of the journey across Europe.
Historic Venice
The 'Money Shot': on the standard approach to Runway 04, the right side looks directly down onto St. Mark's Square, the Grand Canal, and the Rialto Bridge.
For the best experience, choose a seat behind the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of Venice during descent. On morning flights, the sun will be behind you, providing perfect lighting for photography of the Anatolian plateau and the Italian lagoon.

Palm Jumeirah
Immediately after takeoff from DXB, enjoy a perspective of the man-made islands and the Dubai Marina skyline.
Mesopotamian Plains
Observe the winding paths of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers as they cut through the arid landscapes of Iraq.
Taurus Mountains
Fly over the rugged, often snow-capped peaks of southern Turkey with views stretching toward the Mediterranean.
Dalmatian Coast
As you cross the Adriatic, the left side offers views of the numerous islands and crystal-clear waters of the Croatian coast.
The left side is excellent for early flight segments to see the Dubai coastline. However, be aware that on a westbound flight, the sun will be on the left (south) side for much of the journey, which may cause glare during midday flights.
