GOT โ SPU
Which side of the plane to sit from Gothenburg-Landvetter Airport (Gothenborg) to Split Airport (Split)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer scenic views, the right side provides a more dramatic perspective of the High Alps and the stunning archipelago of the Dalmatian coast during the final approach into Split.
รresund Bridge
Spot the massive bridge connecting Malmรถ and Copenhagen shortly after leaving Swedish airspace.
The High Alps
Fly directly over the majestic, snow-capped peaks of the Austrian Alps, including the Hohe Tauern range.
Julian Alps
Breathtaking views of Mount Triglav and the emerald green valleys of Slovenia as you head south.
Adriatic Islands
A spectacular sequence of islands like Krk, Rab, and Pag appearing as white stones in the deep blue sea.
Kaลกtela Bay
The final approach offers a low-altitude view over the crystal-clear turquoise waters and coastal villas of the Split Riviera.
The right side is highly recommended for the alpine crossing and the arrival phase. For the best lighting on the islands and the Alps, an afternoon flight is ideal as the sun moves west. Watch for the dramatic color change of the Adriatic Sea from deep navy to bright turquoise as the plane descends towards SPU. Seats just behind the wing offer the best balance of stability and unobstructed views.
Gothenburg Archipelago
Enjoy views of the rugged granite islands and coastal villages immediately after takeoff from Landvetter.
Baltic Coastline
Look out for the white chalk cliffs and sandy stretches along the Northern German and Polish coastlines.
Prague & Bohemia
On clear days, the dense forests of the Bohemian Massif and the urban sprawl of Prague are visible to the east.
Eastern Alpine Slopes
The eastern edge of the Alps provides a jagged horizon of limestone peaks as you transition into Southern Europe.
Split City Center
During the final descent, the left side often gets a glimpse of the historic city and the bell tower of St. Domnius Cathedral.
Sit on the left if you prefer views of the historic inland cities and the rugged Dinaric Alps of Croatia. On morning flights, the sun will be on this side, so bring sunglasses or choose the right side to avoid glare. Use the left side for a potential view of the Split city skyline during the base leg of the landing.
