Which side of the plane to sit from Split Airport (Split) to Nuremberg Airport (Nuernberg)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of the turquoise Adriatic coastline and the jagged Julian Alps during the middle of the flight, followed by the iconic Bavarian lakes before landing.
Dalmatian Archipelago
Immediately after takeoff, view the islands of BraΔ and Ε olta against the deep blue Adriatic Sea.
Velebit Mountain Range
A striking limestone barrier where the mountains meet the sea along the Croatian coast.
Julian Alps
Cross over the dramatic peaks of Slovenia, including views near Mount Triglav if the flight path is westerly.
Lake Chiemsee
Known as the 'Bavarian Sea,' this large lake with its famous islands is often visible as you enter German airspace.
Munich Outskirts
Depending on the approach, you may see the northern expansion of the Bavarian capital and the Allianz Arena.
Book an 'A' seat for the best photography. For morning flights, this side is shaded, providing the best lighting for the Adriatic coast and Alpine peaks without cockpit glare or direct sun interference. During winter, look for the stark contrast between the white snow-capped peaks and the dark green forests of the foothills.
Krka National Park
Glimpse the inland canyons and river systems of Croatia's famous waterfall region shortly after departure.
Ljubljana Basin
Views of the Slovenian capital and the surrounding valley nestled between mountain ridges.
Hohe Tauern Range
A spectacular panorama of the Austrian Central Alps, featuring some of the highest peaks in the region.
Salzburg & Alpine Foothills
If the route tracks east, the city of Mozart and the impressive fortress are visible against the mountains.
The Danube River
Look for the winding blue ribbon of the Danube as you approach the Regensburg area before descending into Nuremberg.
The right side ('F' seats) is excellent for afternoon flights as the sun moves west, illuminating the Austrian Alps in warm light. Keep an eye out for the Danube River crossing, which signals about 15-20 minutes remaining until arrival. This side is also better for seeing the Dinaric mountain interior if the coast is clouded over.
