LBA → DBV
Which side of the plane to sit from Leeds Bradford Airport (Leeds) to Dubrovnik Airport (Dubrovnik)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is overwhelmingly superior for the final approach, offering iconic views of the Adriatic coastline, the Elafiti Islands, and the red-roofed Old Town of Dubrovnik during the descent.

English Channel
Views of the world's busiest shipping lanes and the white cliffs of the French coast near Calais.
Swiss Alps
A breathtaking panorama of the highest peaks in Europe, including potential views of the Bernese Oberland.
Dalmatian Islands
A stunning mosaic of islands like Brač, Hvar, and Korčula set against the deep blue Adriatic Sea.
Dubrovnik Old Town
The ultimate highlight: a perfect view of the medieval city walls and the Stradun just moments before landing.
The right side is essential for the 'money shot' of Dubrovnik. Most flights approach DBV from the northwest (Runway 11), placing the islands and the historic city center directly out the right-hand windows. For the best photography, choose a seat ahead of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. Afternoon flights are particularly scenic as the sun illuminates the limestone buildings of the Old Town.

Greater London
After departing LBA and heading south, the left side often captures the sprawling London skyline and the winding River Thames.
Austrian Alps
Mid-flight views of the jagged, snow-capped peaks of the Eastern Alps as the flight crosses Central Europe.
Slovenian Highlands
Lush green forests and the rugged karst topography of the northern Balkan Peninsula.
Dinaric Alps
The dramatic limestone mountain ranges that run parallel to the Croatian coast, visible during the initial descent.
The left side is excellent for mountain enthusiasts during the cruise phase over Austria and Slovenia. To avoid the harsh glare of the southern sun during midday flights, the left side provides more comfortable viewing. Keep an eye out for the transition from the high Alps to the rocky Balkan terrain.
