The right side is essential for the iconic Split arrival. As the plane descends over the Adriatic, you will see the white pebble beaches and crystal-clear water. Book a seat on this side for afternoon flights to have the sun behind you, illuminating the coastline. Ensure your camera is ready about 20 minutes before landing for the coastal transition.

Dutch Polders
Aerial view of the intricate canal systems and reclaimed land surrounding Rotterdam immediately after takeoff.
Bavarian Plains
Vast agricultural landscapes of southern Germany and distant views of the Munich metropolitan area.
Hohe Tauern
Dramatic views of the eastern Austrian Alps including the snow-capped peaks of the Grossglockner massif.

Choose a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze when photographing the Alps. This side is better during morning flights to avoid direct sunlight glare coming from the south. Watch for the Krka National Park waterfalls shortly before landing if the flight path tracks slightly inland.
