LGW โ TIV
Which side of the plane to sit from London Gatwick Airport (London) to Tivat Airport (Tivat)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer stunning Alpine views, the Right Side is the clear winner for its spectacular views of the French Alps and the legendary, dramatic approach into the Bay of Kotor.
Paris Suburbs
Depending on the ATC routing, the French capital and its sprawling outskirts are often visible to the southwest.
Mont Blanc
An incredible perspective of Western Europe's highest peak as you traverse the French-Italian border.
Venice and the Lagoon
As the flight crosses the Adriatic, you can often spot the distinct shape of Venice and its surrounding islands.
Bay of Kotor
The 'Fjord of the Balkans'; a breathtaking sight as the plane banks steeply between mountains for landing.
Porto Montenegro
View the luxury superyacht marina and the coastal town of Tivat just seconds before touchdown.
The right side is essential for the Tivat approach, which is one of the most scenic in Europe. Try to book a morning flight to avoid the afternoon sun being directly in your window. Ensure you are seated forward of the wing to get an unobstructed view of the steep mountain descent into the bay.
English Channel
Clear views of the crossing from the Sussex coastline over towards the beaches of Normandy.
Swiss Alps
Distances views of the high Bernese Oberland peaks including the Eiger and Jungfrau.
Dalmatian Archipelago
The intricate network of Croatian islands like Braฤ and Hvar visible as you track the coastline south.
Lovฤen National Park
Rugged limestone peaks and the black mountains of Montenegro during the final descent.
Sit on the left if you want to see the inland mountain ranges of the Balkans. In the morning, this side is shaded, providing better conditions for photography without glare.
