MUC β SPU
Which side of the plane to sit from Munich Airport (Munich) to Split Airport (Split)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers an unbeatable sequence of views, starting with the high Tyrolean peaks and concluding with a dramatic descent over the azure Adriatic coast and the Dalmatian islands.
Zillertal Alps
Spectacular views of the snowy peaks and deep valleys of the Tyrolean region.
Dolomites
The distinctive pale, jagged silhouettes of the Italian Dolomites are often visible on the distant horizon.
Istrian Peninsula
The heart-shaped coast of Istria marks your transition from the mountains to the Mediterranean.
Kvarner Islands
Views of Krk, Cres, and Pag islands, which look like white stones set in the deep blue Adriatic Sea.
Velebit Range
The massive coastal mountain wall that drops dramatically into the sea as you enter Dalmatia.
KaΕ‘tela Bay
A stunning low-altitude view of the turquoise bay and waterfront villages during the final approach.
This is the 'scenic side' for the arrival into Split. Most flights approach from the islands or parallel to the coast; sit here to see the famous turquoise water and island archipelagos. Late afternoon flights provide a stunning golden glow over the Adriatic, though you should bring sunglasses to manage the glare.
Chiemsee
Known as the Bavarian Sea, this massive lake is visible on the left shortly after departure from Munich.
Hohe Tauern
The highest mountain range in the Austrian Alps, featuring the glaciated peaks of the Grossglockner massif.
Julian Alps
The rugged limestone peaks of Slovenia, including Mount Triglav, provide a sharp and dramatic horizon.
Lika Karst
A fascinating bird's-eye view of Croatia's unique karst topography with sinkholes and rocky plateaus.
Split City Center
During the final turn for landing, the historic harbor and Diocletian's Palace are visible from the left windows.
Select the left side for the best experience of the high alpine crossing. The morning sun illuminates the mountain faces perfectly on this side. It is also the best side for spotting the intricate network of glacial lakes in Austria and the dense forests of Slovenia.
