LIL โ†’ SPU

Which side of the plane to sit from Lille-Lesquin Airport (Lille) to Split Airport (Split)?

Our Recommendation
9.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior visual experience, combining the high-altitude grandeur of the Swiss Alps with a spectacular low-altitude approach over the turquoise waters and white-stone islands of the Dalmatian coast.

Right Side Highlights
9.5
๐Ÿ”๏ธ

Swiss High Alps

Exceptional views of the highest glaciated peaks in Central Europe, including potential sightings of the Jungfrau region.

๐Ÿ’ง

Italian Lakes

Glimpses of the deep blue waters of Lake Garda or Lake Como set against the southern alpine foothills.

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น

Venetian Lagoon

The distinctive outline of Venice and its surrounding islands as the flight crosses the northern Adriatic Sea.

๐Ÿ๏ธ

Istrian Coast

The dramatic transition from the blue sea to the heart-shaped peninsula of northern Croatia.

๐ŸŒŠ

Dalmatian Archipelago

A stunning mosaic of long, white-shored islands like Braฤ and Hvar during the final descent.

๐Ÿฐ

Trogir Old Town

A bird's-eye view of the UNESCO-listed medieval island city located directly on the approach path to Split.

The right side is essential for the scenic 'coastal approach.' Choose a seat in front of or behind the wing for unobstructed views of Trogir and the islands. On morning flights, the sun will be on this side, so late afternoon flights are best for soft light and clear photography of the Adriatic.

Left Side Highlights
6.8
๐ŸŒฒ

Ardennes Forest

Dense green canopies and winding river valleys across southern Belgium and Luxembourg shortly after takeoff.

๐Ÿ”๏ธ

Eastern Alpine Range

Panoramic views looking north toward the jagged limestone peaks of the Austrian and Slovenian Alps.

โ›ฐ๏ธ

Dinaric Alps

The rugged, grey limestone backbone of the Velebit mountains stretching along the Croatian coastline.

The left side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare while photographing the European interior. It offers a more consistent view of the continental mountain ranges and the karst topography of the Croatian hinterland.
