Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers a stunning front-row seat to the turquoise Adriatic Sea and the breathtaking chain of Croatian islands during the descent into Dubrovnik.
Search flights from VIE to DBV
Wienerwald
The lush 'Vienna Woods' and the rolling hills of Lower Austria immediately following departure.
Kornati Archipelago
A dense cluster of nearly 100 uninhabited islands and reefs within a National Park.
Hvar and BraΔ Islands
Famous long-shaped islands known for their crystal clear coves and the V-shaped Zlatni Rat beach.
Elaphiti Islands
The small, green archipelago scattered just off the coast of Dubrovnik as the plane prepares for landing.
The right side is the definitive choice for sea lovers. As you cross the Velebit range, the transition from grey rock to deep blue sea is spectacular. For the best lighting on the islands and to avoid glare, mid-to-late afternoon flights are ideal. Keep your camera ready as you pass the island of Mljet, which is almost entirely covered in dark green forest.

Vienna Cityscape
Aerial views of the Danube River and the sprawling Austrian capital shortly after takeoff.
Styrian Alps
The rugged, limestone peaks of the eastern Austrian Alps providing a dramatic mountainous backdrop.
Biokovo Mountain Range
Massive coastal mountains in Dalmatia that drop sharply into the sea near Makarska.
Dubrovnik Old Town
A glimpse of the iconic medieval walls and red roofs if the aircraft performs a specific circle approach to Runway 11.
Sit on the left if you want to see the rugged Balkan interior and the sheer scale of the Biokovo mountains. If the wind requires a landing from the west (Runway 11), the left side provides the most direct view of the Old Town just seconds before touchdown. Morning flights are best for the left side to keep the sun behind the aircraft.
