MAN โ SPU
Which side of the plane to sit from Manchester Airport (Manchester) to Split Airport (Split)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side of the aircraft offers a superior view of the European continent, including potential glimpses of London, a fantastic angle of the Swiss and Italian Alps, and a breathtaking perspective of the Venetian Lagoon before descending along the rugged Croatian coastline.
Manchester & Peak District
View the urban sprawl of Manchester and the green rolling hills of the Peak District immediately after takeoff.
London & Thames Estuary
On clear days, see the sprawling London skyline and the winding River Thames as you head toward the Channel.
The Swiss Alps
Spectacular views of snow-capped peaks and glacial valleys as the flight crosses Central Europe.
Venice & The Lagoon
A high-altitude view of the unique historic islands of Venice and the surrounding turquoise lagoon.
Dalmatian Archipelago
Stunning aerial views of the thousands of islands dotting the Croatian coast as you approach Split.
Book a window seat in the front half of the cabin to avoid wing obstruction. For morning flights, the sun will be on the right side, meaning the left side will have better lighting and less glare for photography. Watch closely as you cross the Italian coast; Venice is a frequent highlight on this side.
Parisian Horizon
Distant views of the French capital and the Eiffel Tower may be visible depending on the specific airway taken.
Mont Blanc
The highest peak in the Alps often appears as a massive white massif on the right horizon.
Adriatic Sea
Vast blue expanses as the flight transitions from Italy toward the Balkan Peninsula.
Dinaric Alps
The rugged, limestone mountain range that runs along the Adriatic coast provides a dramatic backdrop for landing.
Hvar and Braฤ Islands
Detailed views of the famous Dalmatian islands during the final descent into Split Airport.
The right side is excellent for catching the sunset if flying in the late afternoon or evening. During the final approach into SPU, the right side often gets a great view of the island of ฤiovo and the historic town of Trogir just before touchdown. Keep your camera ready as the plane banks for its final alignment.
