LHR โ SPU
Which side of the plane to sit from London Heathrow Airport (London) to Split Airport (Split)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers an unparalleled view of the high Swiss and Austrian Alps during the cruise, followed by a breathtaking descent over the turquoise Adriatic Sea and the stunning Dalmatian islands before landing at Split.

English Channel
Clear views of the White Cliffs of Dover and the busy shipping lanes of the Channel shortly after departure.
The High Alps
Spectacular views of the highest snow-capped peaks in Switzerland and Austria, including the Eiger and Jungfrau regions.
Dalmatian Archipelago
Stunning vistas of the islands of Braฤ, Hvar, and ล olta scattered across the deep blue Adriatic Sea.
Trogir Old Town
A close-up view of the UNESCO-protected island town of Trogir just seconds before touchdown at SPU.
The right side is the definitive choice for this route. Sit here for the 'money shot' of the Croatian coast. Aim for a morning flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the turquoise waters and islands perfectly. During the landing approach (usually Runway 05), the right side offers a direct look at the historic town of Trogir and the Ciovo peninsula.

Greater London
Aerial views of the sprawling city and the winding River Thames immediately following takeoff from Heathrow.
Bavarian Alps
Glimpses of the rugged northern edges of the Alpine range across southern Germany and Austria.
Velebit Mountains
The dramatic limestone peaks of the Velebit range as you cross from the European interior into Croatian airspace.
Split Hinterland
A view of the rugged karst landscape and the suburbs of Split as the plane banks for its final approach.
Choose the left side for better views of the London skyline if the wind is blowing from the West. This side also stays cooler on afternoon flights as it faces north away from the direct sun. During the descent, keep an eye out for the Plitvice Lakes region if the flight path is slightly inland.
