Which side of the plane to sit from Václav Havel Airport Prague (Prague) to Split Airport (Split)?

Our Recommendation
9.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior visual experience, combining the majesty of the Austrian Alps with the breathtaking final approach over the turquoise Adriatic Sea and the Dalmatian archipelago.

Right Side Highlights
9.2
🏔️

Hohe Tauern Range

Spectacular views of Austria's highest glaciated peaks, including the Grossglockner massif in the distance.

🏙️

Julian Alps

The stunning peaks of Slovenia, including the iconic Mount Triglav visible on the horizon.

🌊

Kvarner Gulf

Your first glimpse of the deep blue Adriatic Sea as you pass near the city of Rijeka.

🏝️

Dalmatian Islands

An incredible panorama of the jagged coastline and islands like Pag, Dugi Otok, and Šolta.

🏰

Trogir Old Town

The historic UNESCO-listed island-city is often clearly visible just seconds before touchdown.

The right side is essential for the iconic approach into Split. During the descent, you will see the stark contrast between the turquoise waters and the white stone of the islands. For the best photography, a midday or late afternoon flight provides the most vibrant water colors. Be ready with your camera about 20 minutes before landing.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🏰

Prague Suburbs

Views of the Vltava river meandering through the southern Bohemian landscape shortly after takeoff.

🏔️

Styrian Alps

The eastern edge of the Alpine range featuring rugged limestone peaks and deep valleys.

⛰️

Velebit Range

The massive mountain chain that separates the Croatian hinterland from the coastal regions.

🏞️

Krka National Park

Aerial view of the karst canyons and forested areas of inland Dalmatia before landing.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the glare of the southern sun. This side provides a more detailed view of the Dinaric Alps and the interior landscapes of Croatia. Watch for the dramatic change in terrain as the lush forests give way to the white limestone karst as you cross into the Balkans.
