Which side of the plane to sit from Berlin-Tegel Airport (Berlin) to Dubrovnik Airport (Dubrovnik)?

Our Recommendation
9.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers an unparalleled sequence of landscapes, featuring the high peaks of the Austrian Alps followed by the breathtaking turquoise coastline and islands of the Adriatic Sea.

Right Side Highlights
9.2
๐Ÿ”๏ธ

Hohe Tauern National Park

Spectacular views of the highest peaks in Austria, including the snow-capped Grossglockner.

๐Ÿ™๏ธ

Zagreb Cityscape

A clear view of the Croatian capital's red roofs and cathedral spires as you cross from the Alps to the Balkans.

๐Ÿ–๏ธ

Dalmatian Archipelago

A stunning chain of islands including Braฤ, Hvar, and Korฤula surrounded by crystal-clear waters.

๐Ÿ›ฅ๏ธ

Adriatic Coastline

The dramatic meeting of white limestone cliffs and deep blue sea along the Croatian shoreline.

โœˆ๏ธ

Dubrovnik Old Town

If the aircraft approaches from the northwest, this side provides the iconic view of the medieval walled city.

This is the essential side for the descent into Dubrovnik. For the best photography of the Alps, mid-morning flights are ideal to avoid direct sun. On final approach to Runway 11, the right side typically offers a world-class view of the historic Old Town walls and the island of Lokrum.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
๐Ÿฐ

Dresden Skyline

Views of the historic Elbe river valley and the reconstructed architecture of Dresden shortly after takeoff.

๐Ÿ™๏ธ

Prague Panoramas

The flight path often passes near the Czech capital, offering a glimpse of the Vltava river and the city's historic center.

๐Ÿ”๏ธ

Dachstein Massif

Dramatic views of the limestone peaks of the Austrian Eastern Alps as the plane heads south.

๐ŸŒŠ

Lake Balaton

To the east, the vast expanse of Central Europe's largest lake may be visible on clear days over Hungary.

โ›ฐ๏ธ

Dinaric Alps

Rugged karst limestone formations and deep valleys of the Bosnian hinterland during the descent phase.

Sit forward of the wing to avoid engine heat distortion. This side is best for morning flights when the sun is behind the aircraft, illuminating the inland mountain ranges without glare. Watch for the Elbe river winding through the landscape in the first 15 minutes of flight.
