SPU β MAN
Which side of the plane to sit from Split Airport (Split) to Manchester Airport (Manchester)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the highest peaks of the Austrian and Swiss Alps, the vastness of Lake Constance, and the dramatic landscape of the Peak District on approach into Manchester.
Dinaric Alps
Rugged limestone mountain ranges stretching across Croatia and Slovenia shortly after departure.
High Alps
Spectacular views of snow-capped Austrian peaks and the majestic Rhine Valley from cruising altitude.
Lake Constance
The enormous blue expanse of the 'Bodensee' where Germany, Switzerland, and Austria meet.
Rhine-Ruhr Area
The industrial heartland of Western Germany, identifiable by its dense urban layout and river networks.
Peak District
The rolling green hills and moorlands of Northern England as the aircraft descends into the Manchester area.
The right side is ideal for mountain enthusiasts, offering the most consistent views of the high Alps. During the landing at Manchester (typically Runway 23R), the right side often provides a great view of the city skyline and the Pennines. Morning flights offer the best lighting for photography on this side.
Dalmatian Islands
Breathtaking views of the turquoise Adriatic waters and islands like BraΔ and Ε olta immediately after takeoff from Split.
Southern Alps
Glances of the jagged limestone peaks and glacial valleys across Northern Italy and Southern Switzerland.
French Countryside
A patchwork of rural landscapes and vineyards as the flight path traverses Northeastern France.
English Channel
The crossing between mainland Europe and the UK, often filled with cargo ships and ferries.
Greater London
On clear days with a southerly route, the sprawling outskirts of the capital are visible in the distance.
Choose the left side for the best departure views of the Croatian coastline. For evening flights, this side will experience the sunset over the wing during the final third of the journey. Keep an eye out for the white cliffs as you cross the Channel.
