FRA β DBV
Which side of the plane to sit from Frankfurt am Main Airport (Frankfurt) to Dubrovnik Airport (Dubrovnik)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides an unparalleled panorama of the Austrian Alps and the stunning turquoise waters of the Adriatic coastline, including the Dalmatian islands and the iconic Dubrovnik Old Town during approach.
Search flights from FRA to DBV
Zillertal Alps
Stunning snow-capped peaks along the border of Austria and Italy shortly after reaching cruise altitude.
Istrian Peninsula
The first glimpse of the Adriatic Sea where the land meets deep blue water in a heart-shaped coastline.
Dalmatian Archipelago
A bird's-eye view of hundreds of islands including BraΔ, Hvar, and the Kornati National Park.
Dubrovnik Old Town
If the wind dictates a northern approach, you will see the famous red roofs and city walls perfectly framed.
Elaphiti Islands
Small, forested islands dotting the sea just minutes before the wheels touch the tarmac.
For the best experience, sit in the front third or the very back of the cabin to avoid the wing. On the final approach into DBV, the plane usually flies parallel to the coast, making the right side the 'money side' for photographing the historic city walls and the Adriatic's clarity.

Hohe Tauern Range
Aerial views of the highest peaks in the Austrian Alps, including the Grossglockner massif.
Zagreb Metropolitan Area
The Croatian capital is often visible as the plane crosses from Central Europe toward the Balkans.
Dinaric Alps
Rugged, limestone mountain ranges stretching through Bosnia and Herzegovina and inland Croatia.
Konavle Valley
Lush green agricultural landscapes and vineyards seen during the final moments of the descent.
The left side is preferable on morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the southern sun. It offers excellent views of the high Alpine glaciers and the dense, rugged mountain terrain of the interior Balkans.
