Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from London to Dubrovnik. Left side wins both ends of the flight. During the cruise the route tracks southeast over France, the Alps, and down the Adriatic coast — the left side gives you the better angle on the Alps and the Croatian coastline as you descend. Right side gets some Alpine views too but misses the Dubrovnik approach scenery.

During takeoff from Gatwick (LGW), sit on the Left side for the best views. Gatwick's main runway 26L departure heads westward before turning southeast, and a left-side seat gives views over the Surrey Hills and the North Downs as the aircraft climbs and banks. You'll also catch a clear look at the urban sprawl of Crawley and the Weald below before the aircraft tracks south toward the Channel. Notable sights include: Surrey Hills AONB, North Downs ridge, Crawley town grid, the M23/M25 motorway interchange.

When landing at Dubrovnik (DBV), sit on the Left side for the best views. Dubrovnik's runway 12 approach comes in from the northwest over the Adriatic, and a left-side seat faces south toward the open sea and the Elaphiti Islands. On runway 30 departure or the reciprocal approach, the left side looks directly toward the Old City of Dubrovnik and the dramatic limestone karst of the Dinaric Alps rising immediately behind it. Notable sights include: Dubrovnik Old City walls, Lokrum Island, Elaphiti Islands (Šipan, Lopud, Koločep), Dinaric Alps karst ridges.

The flight from Gatwick (LGW) to Dubrovnik (DBV) takes Approximately 2 hours 45 minutes to 3 hours.

The route crosses the English Channel near Dieppe, then tracks over northern France and Burgundy. The French Alps (Mont Blanc massif visible to the left at cruise altitude) appear roughly halfway through. The aircraft then crosses northern Italy, the Po Valley, and enters Croatian airspace over the Dinaric Alps before descending along the Dalmatian coast past Split and the islands of Brač and Hvar toward Dubrovnik.
