OSL β†’ SPU

Which side of the plane to sit from Oslo Lufthavn (Oslo) to Split Airport (Split)?

Our Recommendation
9.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers an unbeatable combination of the scenic Oslofjord on departure, the dramatic jagged peaks of the Dolomites, and the iconic turquoise archipelago of the Dalmatian coast during the final approach.

Right Side Highlights
9.2
πŸ™οΈ

Oslo City & Fjord

A stunning bird's-eye view of the Oslo city center, the Aker Brygge waterfront, and the countless islands of the inner fjord.

🌊

Jutland Coastline

The scenic western coast of Denmark and the white sandy beaches of the North Sea.

⛰️

The Dolomites

Dramatic, vertical limestone walls and jagged peaks of the Italian Alps, often showcasing pink hues at sunset.

🏝️

Dalmatian Archipelago

The highlight of the trip, featuring the islands of Pag, Dugi Otok, and the Kornati National Park from above.

πŸ–οΈ

Trogir & Marjan Hill

The historic island-town of Trogir and the green peninsula of Split just moments before touchdown.

Sit on the right for the iconic 'Split approach' which often follows the coastline south before turning inland. For the best experience, book an afternoon flight to witness the sun reflecting off the Adriatic Sea and the orange rooftops of the coastal towns. Keep your camera ready as soon as you cross the Alps for the rapid transition to Mediterranean scenery.

🌲

Eastern Norwegian Forests

Dense pine forests and the sprawling suburbs east of Oslo shortly after takeoff from OSL.

πŸŒ‰

Γ–resund Bridge

The massive engineering feat connecting Denmark and Sweden is often visible when crossing the Baltic Sea.

πŸ”οΈ

Austrian Alps

Expansive views of the snow-capped High Tauern range and the Grossglockner massif.

⛰️

Velebit Mountain Range

The rugged limestone peaks of the Dinaric Alps as the flight enters Croatian airspace.

πŸ™οΈ

Zagreb Environs

Distant views of the Croatian capital and the surrounding Sava river valley.

The left side provides better lighting for photography on southbound morning flights. Look for the transition from the flat plains of Northern Germany to the sudden rise of the Alps. During the final descent, watch for the Krka National Park waterfalls which may be visible if the flight path tracks slightly inland.
