Which side of the plane to sit from Barcelona International Airport (Barcelona) to Václav Havel Airport Prague (Prague)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers a more dramatic perspective of the high Alpine peaks and the jagged Mediterranean coastline of the Costa Brava.
Costa Brava
Stunning views of the rugged 'Wild Coast' of Catalonia with its hidden coves and turquoise water.
The High Alps
Spectacular views of snow-capped peaks including potential sightings of the Mont Blanc massif.
Lake Geneva
The large crescent-shaped lake spanning the border of France and Switzerland.
Bavarian Plateau
The rolling hills of southern Germany, often passing near the city of Munich.
Prague Approach
Depending on the landing pattern, views of the Vltava River and the historic city center spires.
The right side is the definitive choice for mountain lovers. For the best experience, fly during midday when the sun is high to illuminate the Alpine valleys. Keep your camera ready about 40-50 minutes into the flight for the most dramatic mountain scenery.
Barcelona Eixample
Aerial view of the iconic grid pattern and the Sagrada Família immediately after takeoff.
Massif Central
The rugged volcanic landscape of south-central France featuring the Puys mountain chain.
Jura Mountains
The sub-alpine mountain range located north of the Alps, marking the border between France and Switzerland.
Danube River
Glances of the winding Danube as the flight crosses southern Germany towards the Czech border.
Bohemian Countryside
The patchworked agricultural fields and small villages typical of the Central Bohemian Region.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. It provides an excellent view of the Barcelona city layout upon departure from runway 06L/24L. On evening flights, this side catches the sunset over the French countryside.
