LGW โ†’ TIV

Which side of the plane to sit from London Gatwick Airport (London) to Tivat Airport (Tivat)?

Our Recommendation
9.2

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.

Right Side Highlights
9.2
๐Ÿ—ผ

Paris Suburbs

Depending on the ATC routing, the French capital and its sprawling outskirts are often visible to the southwest.

๐Ÿ”๏ธ

Mont Blanc

An incredible perspective of Western Europe's highest peak as you traverse the French-Italian border.

๐ŸŽญ

Venice and the Lagoon

As the flight crosses the Adriatic, you can often spot the distinct shape of Venice and its surrounding islands.

โš“

Bay of Kotor

The 'Fjord of the Balkans'; a breathtaking sight as the plane banks steeply between mountains for landing.

๐Ÿ›ฅ๏ธ

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.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
๐ŸŒŠ

English Channel

Clear views of the crossing from the Sussex coastline over towards the beaches of Normandy.

๐Ÿ”๏ธ

Swiss Alps

Distances views of the high Bernese Oberland peaks including the Eiger and Jungfrau.

๐Ÿ‡ญ๐Ÿ‡ท

Dalmatian Archipelago

The intricate network of Croatian islands like Braฤ and Hvar visible as you track the coastline south.

โ›ฐ๏ธ

Lovฤ‡en 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.
