Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Dubrovnik to Zurich. Left side dominates both ends of the flight. During the cruise over Bosnia, Croatia, Slovenia, and Austria, the left side also faces west toward the Julian Alps and eventually the Swiss plateau, offering more varied terrain than the right side's view into the Pannonian Basin.

During takeoff from Dubrovnik (DBV), sit on the Left side for the best views. Dubrovnik Airport (runway 12/30) typically departs on runway 12 heading southeast, then aircraft turn north over the Adriatic. The left side captures the Old Town of Dubrovnik, the city walls, and the Elaphiti Islands as you climb out over the coast. The right side faces inland toward the Dinaric Alps but the coastal panorama on the left is far more dramatic. Notable sights include: Dubrovnik Old Town and city walls, Lokrum Island, Elaphiti Islands (Šipan, Lopud, Koločep), Pelješac Peninsula.

When landing at Zurich (ZRH), sit on the Left side for the best views. Zurich Airport typically uses runway 14 or 28 for arrivals depending on wind. On the common runway 14 approach from the north, the left side faces west toward the city of Zurich, Lake Zurich, and the Alps on the southern horizon. The right side looks east toward less distinctive terrain. Left is the clear winner for the arrival. Notable sights include: Lake Zurich, Zurich city center, Lake Greifen, Alps on southern horizon (Glarus Alps and Bernese Alps visible as distant peaks).

The flight from Dubrovnik (DBV) to Zurich (ZRH) takes Approximately 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours.

The flight tracks northwest over the Dinaric Alps of Bosnia-Herzegovina, then across Slovenia and the Julian Alps, over the Austrian Alps including the Hohe Tauern range, before descending across the Swiss Mittelland toward Zurich. The Julian and Karawanken Alps are particularly striking from altitude mid-flight.
