Which side of the plane to sit from Ljubljana Jože Pučnik Airport (Ljubljana) to Podgorica Airport (Podgorica)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers an unparalleled panorama of the Adriatic coastline, hundreds of Croatian islands, and the dramatic Bay of Kotor during the descent into Montenegro.
Dalmatian Archipelago
A stunning view of the Croatian islands, including Krk, Rab, and the dense cluster of the Kornati National Park.
Split & Diocletian's Palace
The historic coastal city and its ancient Roman ruins visible as you fly southward.
Dubrovnik Old Town
The 'Pearl of the Adriatic' with its iconic city walls and red roofs is clearly visible during the approach.
Bay of Kotor
A breathtaking fjord-like bay surrounded by sheer cliffs, often cited as one of the world's most beautiful bays.
Budva Riviera
The sparkling beaches and luxury resorts of Sveti Stefan visible just minutes before landing.
Sit on the right side for the absolute best scenery. For morning flights, the lighting is perfect for photography of the turquoise water. Aim for a seat ahead of or behind the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Bay of Kotor, which appears about 10-15 minutes before landing. In summer, the coastal visibility is usually crystal clear.
Dinaric Alps
The rugged karst peaks of the Dinarides stretching across the interior of Croatia and Bosnia.
Biogradska Gora National Park
One of the last three remaining virgin forests in Europe, located in the mountains of Montenegro.
Lake Skadar
The largest lake in Southern Europe, famous for its horseshoe bends and diverse birdlife near Podgorica.
Bosnian Hinterland
Views of remote mountain villages and winding river canyons in the Bosnian interior.
The left side is preferable on afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun reflecting off the Adriatic Sea. It provides a more intimate look at the dramatic limestone formations and deep canyons of the Balkan interior. Watch for the sudden transition from green valleys to the stark, grey rock of the Montenegrin mountains.
