Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side is the clear winner for its unparalleled views of the Adriatic coastline and the turquoise waters of the Dalmatian Islands during the descent into Dubrovnik.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
๐ŸŒŠ

Baltic Sea Crossing

Deep blue expanses of the Baltic with distant views of the Polish and German coastlines.

๐Ÿ”๏ธ

Austrian Alps

On clear days, the eastern fringes of the snow-capped Austrian Alps are visible on the far horizon.

๐Ÿ๏ธ

Dalmatian Archipelago

A spectacular mosaic of islands including Braฤ, Hvar, and Korฤula during the descent into Dubrovnik.

๐Ÿšข

Adriatic Coastline

Clear views of the dramatic limestone cliffs and hidden coves as the aircraft aligns for the runway.

This is the essential side for the approach into DBV, which is one of Europe's most scenic. Sit in the front or rear to avoid the wing blocking the view of the Elafiti Islands. Midday flights provide the best light to see the vibrant turquoise colors of the Adriatic Sea.

Left Side Highlights
7.3
๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ฎ

Finnish Archipelago

Immediate views of the dense network of islands south of Helsinki right after takeoff.

๐Ÿ”๏ธ

High Tatra Mountains

Sharp, dramatic alpine peaks visible as the flight crosses the border between Poland and Slovakia.

๐Ÿ‡ญ๐Ÿ‡บ

Danube River

Aerial perspective of the winding Danube as the plane traverses the Hungarian plains.

โ›ฐ๏ธ

Dinaric Alps

The rugged, white limestone mountains of Bosnia and Herzegovina during the final hour of flight.

Opt for the left side on morning flights to avoid the harsh southern sun. Watch for the sharp contrast between the green Hungarian plains and the rocky Balkan mountains. This side is also better for spotting the city lights of Central European capitals on night flights.
