SPU โ CDG
Which side of the plane to sit from Split Airport (Split) to Charles de Gaulle International Airport (Paris)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the most dramatic geographic transitions, from the stark limestone cliffs of Croatia to the massive glaciated peaks of the central Alps.
Velebit Mountains
The rugged, white-rock peaks of the Dinaric Alps immediately after departure from Split.
Julian Alps
Magnificent views of Slovenia's highest peaks, including the iconic Mount Triglav.
Central Alpine Massif
Spectacular snow-capped peaks and glaciers as the flight crosses the heart of Europe.
Lake Geneva
The unmistakable crescent shape of Lac Lรฉman on the border between Switzerland and France.
Marne River
Scenic bends and historical French towns visible as the aircraft begins its final approach.
The right side is unbeatable for Alpine scenery. Morning flights offer the best illumination for the high-altitude peaks of Slovenia and Switzerland. Try to sit ahead of the wing to ensure your view of the Velebit mountains and the crescent-shaped Lake Geneva isn't obstructed by engine heat haze. Seasonal snow cover in the Alps is most dramatic from December to April.
Dalmatian Archipelago
Stunning views of ล olta and the turquoise waters near Split right after takeoff.
Adriatic Coastline
A long view of the Croatian coast stretching toward Istria during the initial climb.
Italian Alps
The southern ridges of the Alps and the Dolomites visible as you cross northern Italy.
Burgundy Countryside
The transition into France reveals the structured patterns of famous wine regions.
Paris Approach
Potential views of the Eiffel Tower and the city center during the final descent into CDG.
Opt for the left side on afternoon flights to avoid the direct southern sun. During the descent, keep your eyes peeled for the Eiffel Tower, as many approaches to CDG from the south-east loop around the city, giving left-seat passengers a glimpse of the urban center. If flying in winter, the snowy peaks of the Italian Alps will be a major highlight mid-flight.
