GOT โ†’ SPU

Our Recommendation
9.0

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.

Right Side Highlights
9.0
๐ŸŒ‰

ร˜resund Bridge

Spot the massive bridge connecting Malmรถ and Copenhagen shortly after leaving Swedish airspace.

๐Ÿ”๏ธ

The High Alps

Fly directly over the majestic, snow-capped peaks of the Austrian Alps, including the Hohe Tauern range.

๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฎ

Julian Alps

Breathtaking views of Mount Triglav and the emerald green valleys of Slovenia as you head south.

๐Ÿ๏ธ

Adriatic Islands

A spectacular sequence of islands like Krk, Rab, and Pag appearing as white stones in the deep blue sea.

๐ŸŒŠ

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.

๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ช

Gothenburg Archipelago

Enjoy views of the rugged granite islands and coastal villages immediately after takeoff from Landvetter.

๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช

Baltic Coastline

Look out for the white chalk cliffs and sandy stretches along the Northern German and Polish coastlines.

๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฟ

Prague & Bohemia

On clear days, the dense forests of the Bohemian Massif and the urban sprawl of Prague are visible to the east.

๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡น

Eastern Alpine Slopes

The eastern edge of the Alps provides a jagged horizon of limestone peaks as you transition into Southern Europe.

๐Ÿ‡ญ๐Ÿ‡ท

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.
