Which side of the plane to sit from Frankfurt am Main Airport (Frankfurt) to Split Airport (Split)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side is significantly more scenic as it provides a front-row seat to the Julian Alps and a breathtaking aerial panorama of the Croatian islands and Adriatic coastline during the final descent.

Zugspitze Massif
Excellent views of Germany's highest peak and the surrounding Wetterstein mountains.
Julian Alps
Dramatic limestone summits of Slovenia, often including sightings of Mount Triglav.
Istrian Peninsula
The blue expanse of the Adriatic meeting the heart-shaped peninsula of northern Croatia.
Dalmatian Archipelago
A stunning mosaic of turquoise waters and sun-drenched islands like Šolta, Brač, and Hvar.
Split Peninsula
A birds-eye view of Marjan Hill and the historic center of Split on the final approach path.
The right side is the undisputed winner for the descent into Split. Aim for a window seat here for the iconic island views. During late afternoon flights, the sun sets over the Adriatic, creating a golden shimmer on the water. Be ready with your camera as the plane turns over the islands for its final alignment with the runway.

Bavarian Heartland
Lush rolling hills and sprawling farmlands of southern Germany as the flight departs Frankfurt.

Dinaric Karst
The stark, white limestone peaks of the Dinaric Alps that run parallel to the Croatian coast.

Choose the left side for morning flights to enjoy the sunrise over the Alps without harsh glare. This side is ideal for observing the geological transition from the green German forests to the rugged, rocky terrain of the Balkan interior. Look out for the city of Munich in the distance during the first 30 minutes of flight.
