Which side of the plane to sit from Geneva Cointrin International Airport (Geneva) to Dubrovnik Airport (Dubrovnik)?
Left Side of the Plane
The Left Side is the clear winner for this route, primarily due to the spectacular final approach into Dubrovnik. As the aircraft descends along the Dalmatian coast, passengers on the left side are treated to a world-class aerial view of the terracotta-roofed Dubrovnik Old Town and its iconic medieval walls, especially during a standard approach to Runway 11.

Bernese Alps
Breathtaking views of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau massifs shortly after reaching cruising altitude over Switzerland.
Julian Alps
As you cross from Italy into Slovenia, the jagged limestone peaks of Triglav National Park dominate the horizon.
Dinaric Alps
The rugged, karst landscape of the Croatian interior provides a dramatic backdrop of gray rock and deep green forests.
Dubrovnik Old Town
The 'Pearl of the Adriatic' reveals its full splendor, including the Stradun and ancient fortifications, just moments before landing.
For the best experience, choose a seat well ahead of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Swiss Alps and the final descent. If the flight is in the morning, the sun will be behind you, illuminating the mountains and the Croatian coastline perfectly. Keep your camera ready as soon as the descent starts near the island of Mljet.

Europe's highest peak is often visible to the south shortly after takeoff from Geneva, standing tall above the French Alps.
Po Valley
A sprawling view of Northern Italy, including the geometric patterns of agricultural fields and the distant Apennine Mountains.
Dalmatian Archipelago
Countless islands like Hvar, Korčula, and Vis dot the turquoise waters of the Adriatic Sea like scattered jewels.
Elaphiti Islands
A close-up view of the small, lush islands of Lopud and Koločep as the plane stabilizes for its final approach.
The right side offers more consistent views of the Adriatic Sea and the many islands along the Croatian coast. This side is particularly beautiful during late afternoon or sunset flights, as the sun reflects off the water. Note that while you see the sea, you will likely miss the direct view of Dubrovnik's historic center during landing.
