Which side of the plane to sit from Berlin-Tegel Airport (Berlin) to Split Airport (Split)?

Our Recommendation
9.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers an unparalleled panorama of the Austrian Alps' highest peaks followed by a spectacular descent over the turquoise Adriatic Sea and the dense cluster of Dalmatian islands.

Right Side Highlights
9.2
🏰

Potsdam Palaces

View the historic Sanssouci Park and its royal structures shortly after takeoff from the Berlin area.

🏔️

Grossglockner

Look for Austria's highest mountain peak and its prominent Pasterze Glacier in the distance.

🏙️

Salzburg & Watzmann

The city of Mozart and the iconic Watzmann peak are frequently visible during the cruise over the border.

🌊

Kvarner Gulf

The stunning transition from the mountains to the deep blue Adriatic Sea near the city of Rijeka.

🏝️

Kornati Archipelago

A dense labyrinth of over 100 islands and reefs with crystal clear water, visible during the descent.

This is the premier side for the coastal approach. For the best photography of the islands, book a flight arriving in the afternoon when the sun highlights the turquoise water. Ensure you are seated away from the wing to fully capture the vastness of the Alps.
