CPH → SPU
Which side of the plane to sit from Copenhagen Kastrup Airport (Copenhagen) to Split Airport (Split)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer spectacular views of the Alps, the Right Side is the clear winner for its stunning views of the Copenhagen skyline upon departure and the breathtaking panoramic approach over the Adriatic islands and the Dalmatian coastline.

Copenhagen Center
Depending on the runway, you get an incredible aerial view of the Tivoli Gardens and the city's harbor.
Bavarian & Austrian Alps
Exceptional views of the jagged peaks and deep valleys of Central Europe's most famous range.
Zadar Archipelago
The first sight of the Croatian coast features dozens of small, white-rimmed islands in a turquoise sea.
Kornati Islands
A dense cluster of uninhabited islands and reefs that form a stunning nautical labyrinth.
Brač and Hvar Islands
During the turn for final approach, see the famous islands of Central Dalmatia and the blue Adriatic.
The final 20 minutes of the flight are the highlight; sit on the right for an unobstructed view of the island-dotted coastline. To avoid glare while filming the Adriatic, try to book a flight in the afternoon when the sun is to the West. A seat in front of the wing is highly recommended for the best landscape photos.

Øresund Bridge
Immediately after takeoff from CPH, look down to see the massive bridge connecting Denmark and Sweden.
Prague Panoramas
As you cross the Czech Republic, the historic city of Prague is often visible on the horizon.
Austrian Alps
A magnificent stretch of snow-capped peaks and glaciers in the High Tauern region of Austria.
Dinaric Alps
The rugged, karst limestone mountains of the Balkan Peninsula as you enter Croatian airspace.
Klis Fortress
On the final approach, you can spot the historic mountain fortress guarding the pass to Split.
Choose the left side for the best view of the Øresund Bridge shortly after takeoff. For the best photography of the Alps mid-flight, morning flights are preferable as the sun will be behind you. During the descent, watch for the dramatic transition from the high mountains to the Mediterranean basin.
