Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Dubrovnik to Chania. While takeoff offers excellent Adriatic island views, the landing approach to Chania provides more dramatic and sustained scenery—the White Mountains dominate the descent, and Souda Bay's turquoise waters are visually striking. Left seat captures both the mountain approach and the bay crossing.

During takeoff from Dubrovnik (DBV), sit on the Right side for the best views. Dubrovnik typically departs runway 12 (southbound). Right-side seats offer immediate views of the Adriatic coastline, the Elaphiti Islands, and the limestone cliffs of the Dalmatian coast as you climb southward over open water. Notable sights include: Adriatic Sea (immediate), Elaphiti Islands (Koločep, Lopud, Šipan), Dalmatian limestone cliffs, Dubrovnik Old Town (receding behind).

When landing at Souda (CHQ), sit on the Left side for the best views. Chania typically lands runway 11 (southwestbound). Left-side seats provide views of the White Mountains (Lefka Ori) as you descend toward the airport on Crete's northwestern coast, plus the Cretan Sea and approach path over Souda Bay. Notable sights include: White Mountains (Lefka Ori), Souda Bay, Cretan coastline, Akrotiri Peninsula.

The flight from Dubrovnik (DBV) to Souda (CHQ) takes Approximately 1 hour 15 minutes.

The flight crosses the Ionian Sea southeastward. Notable midpoint features include the Peloponnese coastline (visible to the left/east around 30 minutes into flight), the transition from Ionian to Cretan Sea, and the gradual emergence of Crete's northern coastline. The Paxos and Antipaxos islands may be visible briefly after departure. No major mountain ranges dominate the midpoint, but the sea gradually transitions from deeper blue (Ionian) to lighter turquoise (approaching Crete's shallower waters).
