ZADHHN

Which side of the plane to sit from Zadar Airport (Zadar) to Frankfurt-Hahn Airport (Hahn)?

Our Recommendation
8.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers an unrivaled panorama of the Dalmatian islands immediately after departure and a spectacular profile of the Julian Alps during the cruise phase.

Left Side Highlights
8.8
🏝️

Dalmatian Archipelago

Breathtaking views of Dugi Otok and the scattered islets of the Kornati region right after takeoff.

🌊

Kvarner Gulf

A clear view of the Istrian Peninsula and the large islands of Cres and Lošinj.

🏔️

Julian Alps

Dominant views of Mount Triglav and the dramatic limestone peaks of northern Slovenia.

💧

Lake Constance

Visibility of the massive Bodensee on the border of Austria, Switzerland, and Germany.

🌲

Upper Rhine Plain

The lush landscape of the Rhine valley as the flight turns toward the Hunsrück mountains.

Book a seat ahead of the wing to ensure the engine doesn't block the coastal views. Morning flights are ideal for the left side to avoid direct sun glare while capturing the deep blues of the Adriatic. Keep your camera ready for the first 15 minutes of the flight.

Right Side Highlights
7.6
⛰️

Velebit Range

The rugged, white limestone peaks of Croatia's largest mountain range running parallel to the coast.

❄️

High Tauern Alps

Glacier-capped peaks of the central Austrian Alps, including the Grossglockner on clear days.

🏙️

Bavarian Plateau

A high-altitude view of the rolling green landscapes and small towns of southern Germany.

🏰

Rhine Gorge Castles

Brief glimpses of historic fortifications as the flight descends into the Rhineland-Palatinate.

🍇

Mosel Vineyards

Steep river bends and terraced vineyards characteristic of the approach into Frankfurt-Hahn.

The right side is superior for mountain lovers, providing a closer look at the Austrian Alpine spine. On evening flights, the right side benefits from the warm light of the setting sun illuminating the German countryside. Watch for the Mosel river loop during the final 10 minutes.
