Which side of the plane to sit from Hannover Airport (Hannover) to Dubrovnik Airport (Dubrovnik)?

Our Recommendation

Right Side of the Plane

The right side is significantly more scenic during the descent, offering views of the turquoise Adriatic Sea and the stunning Dalmatian archipelago.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
💧

Bavarian Lakes

Pass by Lake Chiemsee and the scenic foothills of the German Alps during the first half of the flight.

❄️

Grossglockner

On clear days, catch a glimpse of Austria's highest peak glistening in the distance to the south.

🏝️

Dalmatian Archipelago

A bird's-eye view of islands like Brač, Hvar, and the long, thin Korčula during the descent.

🌊

Adriatic Coastline

The dramatic meeting point of the turquoise sea and the steep, sun-bleached Balkan cliffs.

🏰

Dubrovnik Old Town

During the final approach into DBV, look for the iconic red-tiled roofs and historic city walls.

Book a seat away from the wing to fully appreciate the island patterns. This side is essential for the iconic Old Town view during a southern landing approach. In summer, the sun will be on this side in the afternoon, so bring sunglasses.

🌲

Harz Mountains

Views of the dense forests and Brocken peak shortly after departing Lower Saxony.

🏔️

Austrian Alps

A traverse over the eastern Alpine ridges near Salzburg and the Hohe Tauern national park.

⛰️

Dinaric Karst

The rugged and stark white limestone mountains that define the inland Croatian landscape.

Sit on this side for morning flights to see the Alps illuminated by the sun. Watch for the sharp transition from green valleys to high-altitude rocky peaks as you enter Austrian airspace.
