Which side of the plane to sit from London Stansted Airport (London) to Dubrovnik Airport (Dubrovnik)?

Thames Estuary
Aerial views of the winding River Thames and the eastern outskirts of London shortly after takeoff from Stansted.
Swiss & Austrian Alps
Spectacular views of the highest peaks in Europe, often featuring snow-capped summits and deep glacial valleys.
Black Forest
The dense, evergreen canopy of southwestern Germany creates a textured green carpet beneath the wing.
Dalmatian Archipelago
A stunning sequence of limestone islands like BraΔ and Hvar surrounded by vibrant turquoise Adriatic waters.
Dubrovnik Old Town
The legendary 'Pearl of the Adriatic' with its massive stone walls and orange-tiled roofs during the final descent.
Sit on the left for the best chance to see the Dubrovnik Old Town during the final approach. If the plane lands towards the southeast, you will fly directly past the city walls. Morning flights are ideal as the sun will be in the east, perfectly illuminating the limestone cliffs and turquoise waters of the Adriatic.

Parisian Horizon
On clear days, the distinct sprawl of the French capital and even the Eiffel Tower can be spotted in the distance.
Mont Blanc
The highest peak in the Alps is often visible to the south as the flight path traverses the mountain range.
Venetian Lagoon
Look for the unique S-shaped Grand Canal and the cluster of islands making up the historic city of Venice.
Italian Adriatic Coast
The long, sandy beaches of Rimini and the Conero Peninsula provide a beautiful contrast to the deep blue sea.
Elafiti Islands
A cluster of small, lush green islands that signal the final moments before touching down at Dubrovnik Airport.
The right side offers a superior view of the high Alps and is the best side to spot the distinct shape of Venice. For evening flights, this side provides front-row seats to the sunset over the Adriatic, though the glare can be intense. Ensure your window is clean for the Alpine views which occur roughly 45-60 minutes into the flight.
