OSL โ†’ DBV

Which side of the plane to sit from Oslo Lufthavn (Oslo) to Dubrovnik Airport (Dubrovnik)?

Our Recommendation
9.4

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers an unparalleled panoramic view of the Adriatic coastline and the Croatian archipelago during the descent, culminating in a world-class view of Dubrovnik's Old Town on most approaches.

Right Side Highlights
9.4
๐ŸŒŠ

Oslofjord

Spectacular views of the winding fjord, coastal islands, and the shoreline of Southern Norway during departure.

๐Ÿ”๏ธ

Salzburg & Grossglockner

Look out for the stunning peaks of the Austrian Alps, including views near Salzburg and the highest mountains in Austria.

๐Ÿ๏ธ

Dalmatian Archipelago

A breathtaking sequence of islands including Braฤ, Hvar, and Korฤula surrounded by turquoise Adriatic waters.

๐Ÿฐ

Dubrovnik Old Town

On the standard approach from the northwest, the right side provides a direct view of the historic city walls and red-roofed harbor.

๐Ÿ›ฅ๏ธ

Elbe River Valley

Clear views of the winding Elbe river as the flight path traverses the heart of Germany.

The right side is essential for this route. For the best experience, book a window seat away from the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Croatian islands. The final 20 minutes of the flight are the most scenic; keep your camera ready for the 'Pearl of the Adriatic' during the final descent.

๐Ÿ™๏ธ

Oslo & Eastern Suburbs

Aerial views of the Norwegian capital's eastern districts and the surrounding dense forests shortly after takeoff.

๐Ÿ”๏ธ

Hohe Tauern National Park

Glaciated peaks and deep valleys of the eastern Austrian Alps during the cruise phase over Central Europe.

โ›ฐ๏ธ

Dinaric Alps

The rugged, limestone karst landscape of the Balkan interior as the plane crosses into Bosnian and Croatian airspace.

๐ŸŒพ

Pannonian Basin

Vast stretches of agricultural plains across parts of Austria and Slovenia before hitting the mountain ranges.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the harsh southern sun. It offers excellent views of the rugged mountain transitions from the Alps to the Balkans, though you will miss the iconic coastal approach.
