Which side of the plane to sit from Zadar Airport (Zadar) to Paris Beauvais Tillé Airport (Beauvais)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic Velebit mountains in Croatia and the heart of the Italian Dolomites and Central Alps.
Velebit Mountains
The rugged limestone peaks of Croatia's largest mountain range visible right after takeoff.
Venetian Lagoon
A distinct view of the Venetian islands and the complex lagoon system as you cross the Adriatic.
Dolomites
Stunning jagged peaks of the Italian Alps, characterized by unique limestone rock formations.
Central Alpine Range
Extensive views of snow-capped peaks and glaciers across Switzerland and Eastern France.
Champagne Region
The rolling plains and agricultural heartland of the Grand Est region as you approach the Paris basin.
The right side is prime for mountain lovers. You will pass directly over some of the most dramatic parts of the Alps. For morning flights, this side will be shaded, providing perfect lighting for crisp photos of the snow-capped peaks without window glare. Look for the distinctive 'Spiky' Dolomites roughly 30-40 minutes into the flight.
Zadar Archipelago
Aerial view of the hundreds of islands in the Zadar region shortly after takeoff.
Istrian Coastline
Sweeping views of the Croatian and Italian Adriatic coast as the plane heads northwest.
Western Alps
Potential views of the Mont Blanc massif if the flight takes a more southerly route over France.
Burgundy Vineyards
The orderly geometric patterns of the famous French wine regions during the descent.
Paris Skyline
On clear days during the final approach, the Eiffel Tower and La Défense may be visible in the distance.
Sit on the left for the best coastal views of Croatia. During sunset flights, this side will experience direct sunlight, which is great for golden hour photos but can be bright. Keep an eye out for the Paris skyline about 20 minutes before landing at Beauvais.
