FKB β ZAD
Which side of the plane to sit from Karlsruhe Baden-Baden Airport (Karlsruhe/Baden-Baden) to Zadar Airport (Zadar)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers an unparalleled view of the dramatic Dolomites and the spectacular scattering of islands along the Dalmatian coast during the final approach.
Central Alps
High-altitude views of the glaciated peaks near the Swiss and Austrian border.
Dolomites
The sharp, jagged peaks of the Italian Dolomites, particularly stunning in the afternoon light.
Istrian Coast
The rugged coastline of the Istrian peninsula and the clear blue waters of the Northern Adriatic.
Kornati Archipelago
A mesmerizing view of the dense cluster of islands within the Kornati National Park.
Zadar Archipelago
Final approach views of the islands of Dugi Otok, PaΕ‘man, and Ugljan.
The right side is essential for the scenic approach into Zadar. For late afternoon flights, the 'Enrosadira' effect can make the Dolomites appear to glow in shades of orange and pink. Sit behind the wing to ensure the engine doesn't block the view of the islands.
Black Forest
Lush green canopy and rolling hills of Southwestern Germany shortly after takeoff.
Austrian Alps
Glaciated peaks of the High Tauern range visible during the mid-flight cruise.
Velebit Mountains
The stark, grey limestone barrier of the Velebit range running parallel to the Adriatic.
Zadar City
Aerial view of the historic old town peninsula and the Roman forum during descent.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct glare while viewing the Alps. Keep an eye out for the contrast between the green Croatian interior and the white karst mountains. On clear days, the Ljubljana basin is visible mid-flight.
