TIVLGW

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

Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The Right Side is preferred primarily for the breathtaking departure from Tivat, offering a full view of the fjord-like Bay of Kotor, followed by spectacular vistas of the Austrian Alps and the English countryside.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
🛥️

Bay of Kotor

Immediate, stunning views of the 'Fjord of the South' and the historic towns of Kotor and Perast right after takeoff.

⛰️

Dinaric Alps

Rugged, limestone mountain ranges stretching across Montenegro, Bosnia, and Croatia.

❄️

Austrian & Bavarian Alps

Direct views of the glacial valleys and jagged peaks of the Central Eastern Alps.

🌳

The Weald of Kent

Characteristic English landscapes of rolling hills, ancient woodland, and small villages during the descent.

Request a seat on the right for the most iconic views of Montenegro's coast. During winter, the mountain views are particularly striking when snow-covered. Keep your camera ready within the first 5 minutes of flight for the best bay photos.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🌊

Adriatic Archipelagos

Excellent views of the Croatian islands including Hvar, Brač, and Korčula as the plane tracks northwest.

🏔️

Swiss and Italian Alps

Distant but sharp views of the snow-capped Dolomites and the high peaks of the Swiss Alps during mid-flight.

🏰

French Heartland

Aerial views of the lush vineyards and historic châteaux in the Grand Est region of France.

⛴️

The English Channel

Watch the busy shipping lanes and the white cliffs of the French coast before crossing into UK airspace.

Ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the southern sun. On the final approach to Gatwick from the east, this side often provides a clearer view of the South Downs National Park.
