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

The right side offers a superior experience, featuring the industrial scale of Hamburg's port, the highest peaks of the Austrian Alps, and a breathtaking descent along the turquoise Adriatic coastline with views of the Dubrovnik Old Town.

Port of Hamburg
A spectacular view of one of Europe's largest container ports and the Elbe Philharmonic Hall during departure.
High Tauern National Park
Glide past the highest peaks in Austria, including the snow-capped Grossglockner.
Dalmatian Islands
A mosaic of islands including Brač, Hvar, and Korčula set against the deep blue Adriatic Sea.
Dubrovnik Old Town
On the final approach to Runway 11, the iconic medieval city walls and terracotta roofs are visible in all their glory.
The right side is essential for the iconic Dubrovnik approach. Request a window seat forward of the wing for unobstructed views of the Adriatic islands. If flying in the late afternoon, be prepared for some sun glare; however, the sunset over the Adriatic is often spectacular. For the best view of the Old Town during landing, hope for an approach from the northwest.

Hamburg Outskirts
Views of the eastern suburbs and the winding Elbe river shortly after takeoff.
Salzkammergut Region
Aerial perspective of the stunning Austrian lake district and the limestone peaks of the Dachstein massif.
Velebit Mountains
The rugged, karst mountain range of Croatia stretching along the coast toward the interior.
Inland Approach
Final approach views of the stark limestone ridges and valleys surrounding Dubrovnik Airport.
On the left side, morning flights are preferred to have the sun behind you. This side is better if you want to see the interior of the Balkan Peninsula and the eastern ridges of the Alps. Watch for the dramatic change from the green forests of Germany to the stark, white stone of the Croatian karst landscape.
