Milan to Split flight path: LIN to SPU

Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Milan to Split. While takeoff offers Alpine views on the right, the landing approach on the left provides more dramatic and distinctive scenery—the Adriatic islands and coastline are more visually striking than the northern Italian foothills, making left-side seats the better choice for the overall flight.

During takeoff from Linate (LIN), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right-side seats offer views of the Alps as the aircraft climbs southeastward from Milan. The Bergamo foothills and pre-Alpine terrain dominate the initial climb, with the main Alpine ridge visible to the right as you gain altitude. Notable sights include: Bergamo foothills, Southern Alps (Orobie and Prealps), Po River valley floor, Lake Como (partially visible on clear days).

When landing at Split (SPU), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left-side seats provide excellent views during descent into Split. You'll see the Dalmatian coastline, the Adriatic Sea, and the distinctive islands (Brač, Hvar, Vis) that frame the approach corridor. The limestone Dinaric Mountains inland are also prominent on the left. Notable sights include: Adriatic Sea and Dalmatian coastline, Islands of Brač and Hvar, Dinaric Mountains (inland limestone ridges), Split harbor and coastal city.

The flight from Linate (LIN) to Split (SPU) takes about 1 hour 15 minutes. The shortest flight path between them is 370 miles (596 km); winds and air traffic control usually add a few percent.
