HAJ โ SPU
Which side of the plane to sit from Hannover Airport (Hannover) to Split Airport (Split)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic high peaks of the Austrian Alps and the breathtaking descent over the Adriatic islands and the Dalmatian coastline.
Bavarian Castles
Views of the scenic landscape around Nuremberg and the Danube River valley.
The High Alps
A spectacular panorama of the snow-capped Austrian peaks, including the Hohe Tauern national park.
Julian Alps
The jagged limestone summits of Slovenia, including Mount Triglav, visible during the mid-flight phase.
Kvarner Gulf
The first glimpse of the Adriatic Sea, featuring the deep blue waters of the Rijeka bay area.
Dalmatian Archipelago
Stunning views of the islands of Braฤ, Hvar, and ล olta during the approach into Split Airport.
The right side is the 'photographer's side' for this route. For the best experience, book a morning flight to have the sun behind you while viewing the Alps. During the final 15 minutes, the view of the turquoise Adriatic coastline and the ancient Roman layout of the region is unparalleled.
Harz Mountains
The northernmost mountain range in Germany, featuring Brocken peak and dense forests shortly after takeoff.
Bavarian Hinterland
Expansive views of the rolling hills and agricultural landscapes of southern Germany.
Dachstein Massif
Glacial peaks of the eastern Austrian Alps visible as the flight traverses towards the Balkans.
Zagreb Cityscape
A distant view of the Croatian capital's red roofs and urban layout before the final descent.
Velebit Range
The rugged, grey limestone peaks of the Dinaric Alps stretching along the Croatian interior.
The left side is preferable for late afternoon flights to avoid direct sunlight. It provides a great perspective of the transition from the green German plains to the white karst rock of the Balkan mountains. Keep an eye out for the city of Zagreb roughly 30 minutes before landing.
