Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from London to Tivat. While the right side wins at Gatwick for the Channel coast, the left side delivers the spectacular Bay of Kotor approach, which is genuinely one of the most dramatic airport approaches in Europe. Across the cruise, the left side also picks up the Alps crossing — specifically the eastern Alps over Austria and Slovenia — and the Adriatic coastline of Croatia on descent. The Bay of Kotor alone makes left the overall winner.

During takeoff from Gatwick (LGW), sit on the Right side for the best views. Gatwick's runway 26L departure heads westward before turning southeast, and the right side gives views over the Surrey Hills and the North Downs. As the aircraft banks south, the right side picks up the English Channel coastline near Brighton and Eastbourne, which is the last major visual landmark before crossing water. Notable sights include: Surrey Hills AONB, North Downs ridge, Brighton seafront and pier, English Channel coastline near Beachy Head.

When landing at Tivat (TIV), sit on the Left side for the best views. Tivat airport sits on the eastern shore of the Bay of Kotor, and aircraft typically approach from the south or southwest over the Adriatic. The left side on approach gives a direct view into the Bay of Kotor — one of the most dramatic fjord-like inlets in Europe — with the Orjen and Lovćen mountain ranges rising steeply behind it. The right side faces inland toward Montenegro's karst plateau, which is less visually distinctive. Notable sights include: Bay of Kotor (Boka Kotorska), Mount Lovćen, Kotor old town on the bay shore, Adriatic Sea.

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

The route crosses northern France, then tracks southeast over the Rhine Valley near Strasbourg, crosses the Swiss and Austrian Alps (Bernese Oberland and Hohe Tauern ranges visible as snow-capped ridges), descends over Slovenia and Croatia, follows the Dalmatian coast of the Adriatic with its chain of islands including Hvar and Korčula visible below, before turning inland toward the Bay of Kotor.
