GSE → ZAD
Which side of the plane to sit from Gothenburg City Airport (Gothenborg) to Zadar Airport (Zadar)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer incredible views of the Alps, the Right Side is superior due to the breathtaking descent over the Adriatic Sea and the stunning island clusters of the Kornati archipelago before landing in Zadar.

Oresund Bridge
The iconic engineering marvel connecting Malmö and Copenhagen is often visible shortly after departure.
Berlin Region
A view across the German plains, often passing within sight of the vast urban sprawl of Berlin.
Hohe Tauern
Glaciated peaks of the High Alps, including views toward the Grossglockner massif in Austria.
Ljubljana & Marshes
Views of the Slovenian capital nestled between the Alps and the Dinaric Karst.
Kornati Archipelago
A spectacular finale featuring hundreds of barren, white-stone islands set against deep blue Adriatic waters.
The approach into Zadar is the highlight of this route; sit on the right to ensure a view of the Adriatic coastline and the unique 'moonscape' islands of the Kornati National Park. Morning flights are ideal for this side to avoid the direct glare of the sun over the sea during the descent.

Gothenburg Archipelago
Immediately after takeoff, view the rocky islands and coastal villages of Sweden's west coast.
Stevns Klint
Dramatic white chalk cliffs visible as the flight crosses the Danish coastline toward Germany.
Prague Cityscape
Depending on the corridor, the distinctive spires and Vltava River loops of the Czech capital may appear.
Eastern Alps
Expansive views of the Austrian peaks and deep green valleys of the Styria region.
Velebit Range
The massive karst limestone mountains of Croatia provide a rugged backdrop during the final descent.
The left side is excellent for seeing the sheer scale of the Alps and the rugged interior of the Balkan Peninsula. For the best lighting on these mountain ranges, choose an afternoon flight when the sun is in the west, illuminating the peaks from the side rather than creating a silhouette.
