ZAD → HAU
Which side of the plane to sit from Zadar Airport (Zadar) to Haugesund Airport (Haugesund)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers the most dramatic views of the Velebit mountains upon departure, a deeper perspective into the heart of the Austrian Alps, and a superior angle for the fjord-rich approach into Haugesund.

Velebit Range
The stark, white karst mountains of Croatia rising sharply from the Adriatic coast.
Hohe Tauern
Magnificent views of Austria's highest glaciated peaks, including the Grossglockner massif.
Munich Skyline
The Bavarian capital's urban sprawl and the iconic Allianz Arena are often visible.
Hamburg & Elbe
Aerial perspective of the massive port infrastructure and the winding Elbe river.
Jutland Peninsula
The flat, agricultural tapestry of Denmark punctuated by coastal fjords and inlets.
Boknafjord
The deep, blue waters of one of Norway's major fjords just before landing at HAU.
The right side is ideal for capturing the depth of the Alps. On the approach to Haugesund, planes often perform a teardrop turn or follow a path that provides the right side with panoramic views of the mainland fjords. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes before landing.

Zadar Archipelago
A stunning mosaic of limestone islands and turquoise waters immediately after takeoff.
Julian Alps
Dramatic views of the Slovenian peaks, including the prominent Mount Triglav.
Bavarian Lakes
Look for the sprawling waters of Starnberger See and Ammersee south of Munich.
Wadden Sea
The unique tidal flats and barrier islands of the German and Dutch coastlines.
Rogaland Archipelago
The rugged, wave-battered coastline of southwest Norway during the final descent.
Sit on the left for early morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. This side is particularly rewarding during evening flights as the sun sets over the North Sea, casting a gold light across the Norwegian coastal islands.
