Which side of the plane to sit from East Midlands Airport (East Midlands) to Dubrovnik Airport (Dubrovnik)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a front-row seat to the French and Swiss Alps, the Venetian Lagoon, and the spectacular Croatian archipelago, culminating in a view of Dubrovnik's Old Town on the final approach.
English Channel
Look down shortly after takeoff to see the busy shipping lanes and the white cliffs of the Kent coastline.
The Alps
Fly over the heart of Europe with views of snow-capped Swiss and French peaks, potentially including Mont Blanc.
Venetian Lagoon
Clear views of the unique island city of Venice and its surrounding wetlands as you cross the Italian coast.
Dalmatian Islands
A stunning sequence of turquoise waters and rugged islands like Hvar and Korčula during the descent.
Dubrovnik Old Town
On the standard approach to Runway 11, the iconic terracotta roofs and medieval walls are visible on the left.
Mount Srđ
The rugged limestone ridge overlooking the city of Dubrovnik as the plane prepares for touchdown.
Book a seat ahead of the wing for unobstructed views. Approximately 70 minutes into the flight, keep your camera ready for the Alps. The best views occur in the final 15 minutes; as the plane descends over the Adriatic, the contrast between the blue water and the Croatian islands is breathtaking. Afternoon flights offer the best lighting as the sun is behind you.
Parisian Outskirts
Distant views of the French capital's sprawl and the winding Seine River depending on the specific airway.
Central Alps
Rugged views of the high-altitude peaks and glacial valleys of the Swiss-Italian border.
Po Valley
The vast, fertile plains of Northern Italy, showcasing organized agricultural patterns and the Po River.
Adriatic Sea
Endless views of the deep blue Adriatic, often dotted with luxury cruise ships and sailing yachts.
The right side is ideal for those who prefer the vastness of the sea and the rugged mountains of the Konavle region near landing. It avoids the direct glare of the sun on morning flights. While you miss the Old Town, you get a great perspective of the inland mountains bordering Montenegro during the final turn.
