Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Split to Newark. Left side wins both ends of the flight — the Dalmatian coast and islands on departure, and the New York Harbor approach with Manhattan on arrival. The right side offers little of comparable interest at either airport.

During takeoff from Split (SPU), sit on the Left side for the best views. Departing Split, runway 05 heading takes you northeast, putting the Adriatic Sea and the Dalmatian island chain — Brač, Hvar, Šolta — on the left side. You also get a clear look back at the Split peninsula and Diocletian's Palace district as the aircraft banks northwest. Notable sights include: Brač island and its central ridge, Hvar island stretching long and narrow to the southwest, the Split peninsula with the old town grid, the Mosor mountain range rising immediately inland.

When landing at Newark Liberty International (EWR), sit on the Left side for the best views. EWR's primary arrival runway 22L brings aircraft in from the northeast over New York Harbor, putting Manhattan's skyline directly on the left side. You get a clear view of the Hudson River, Lower Manhattan, and the Statue of Liberty before touchdown. Notable sights include: Manhattan skyline including One World Trade Center, Statue of Liberty in Upper New York Bay, the Hudson River, Verrazano-Narrows Bridge.

The flight from Split (SPU) to Newark Liberty International (EWR) takes Approximately 10 to 11 hours.

The route tracks northwest over the Alps and central Europe, then crosses the UK or Ireland before heading out over the North Atlantic. Visible features include the Alps (Po Valley on one side, Swiss peaks on the other), the English Channel coastline, and potentially Greenland's southern ice cap and Newfoundland's coastline depending on the exact routing. The long mid-ocean stretch over the North Atlantic offers little below except open water and occasional cloud systems.
