SPU β MUC
Which side of the plane to sit from Split Airport (Split) to Munich Airport (Munich)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a superior vantage point for the dramatic transition from the turquoise Adriatic islands to the highest glaciated peaks of the Austrian Alps.
Dalmatian Archipelago
Immediately after takeoff, enjoy bird's-eye views of Ε olta, BraΔ, and the intricate coastline of central Dalmatia.
Velebit Massif
Observe the stark white limestone peaks of Croatia's most iconic mountain range meeting the sea.
Kvarner Gulf
Cross the northern Adriatic with views of the Krk and Cres islands and the Istrian peninsula's edge.
Julian Alps
Witness the rugged limestone giants of Slovenia, including the majestic Mount Triglav.
Hohe Tauern
Fly past the highest peaks in Austria, often offering views of glaciers and deep glacial valleys.
Lake Chiemsee
As you enter Bavaria, see the 'Bavarian Sea' with its famous islands, Herreninsel and Fraueninsel.
For the best photography, choose a seat ahead of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. On morning flights, the left side benefits from the sun being behind the aircraft, illuminating the Alps perfectly. Watch for the sharp contrast between the blue sea and grey karst mountains within the first 20 minutes.
Dinaric Alps
The rugged, wild interior of Croatia characterized by deep canyons and karst plateaus.
Lika Region
The green, forested heart of Croatia, located just inland from the coastal mountain ranges.
Ljubljana
Look for the Slovenian capital situated in a wide basin surrounded by the Karawanks and Alps.
The Karawanks
The long, sharp mountain ridge that marks the international border between Slovenia and Austria.
Salzburg Basin
Views of the northern Alpine edge where the mountains meet the rolling hills of the Salzburg region.
Upper Bavaria
The final descent offers views of the quintessential Bavarian landscape of tidy villages and green pastures.
The right side is ideal for late afternoon or evening flights to catch the sunset over the mountains. While it misses the primary coastline, it offers a better view of the Slovenian capital and the rolling foothills of the northern Alps. Keep an eye out for small alpine lakes tucked between the ridges.
