Search flights from LGW to DBV
Central Swiss Alps
Spectacular views of snow-capped peaks and glaciers as you cross from France into Northern Italy.
Dubrovnik Old Town
On the standard approach to Runway 11, this side offers a world-class view of the terracotta roofs and medieval walls.
Istrian Peninsula
The rugged northern coastline of Croatia appearing as the flight transitions over the Adriatic.
Dinaric Alps
Dramatic limestone mountain ranges that run parallel to the coast during the descent into Dubrovnik.
To see the Old Town, ensure you are seated on the left and hope for an approach to Runway 11. Book a window seat away from the wing (rows 1-10 or 25-30) for unobstructed photography. On morning flights, the sun will be on the right, providing perfect front-lighting for the landmarks on your side.

Depending on the specific airway, you may see Europe's highest peak shimmering to the west.
Venice and the Lagoon
Clear views of the 'Floating City' and its intricate network of islands as you cross the Gulf of Venice.
Dalmatian Archipelago
An endless chain of turquoise-fringed islands including Hvar, Korฤula, and Mljet stretching across the sea.
Adriatic Shipping Lanes
Watch cruise ships and ferries navigating the narrow channels between the islands of the Adriatic Sea.
The right side is superior for island hopping from the air. This side offers a longer duration of scenery as you track the coastline for the final 30 minutes of the flight. Be aware that on afternoon flights, you may face direct sun glare, which can make photography difficult.
