Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side of the aircraft offers a premium vantage point for several iconic Central European capitals, including potential views of Budapest and Bratislava, as well as a more favorable perspective of the Prague cityscape during the final approach.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏰

Budapest Skyline

A distant but often clear view of the Danube winding through the Hungarian capital, featuring the Parliament building.

🏢

Bratislava Castle

The distinct rectangular castle and the UFO bridge of the Slovak capital are often visible when flying over the Slovak-Hungarian border.

⛰️

Pálava Biosphere

Striking limestone formations and white cliffs rising abruptly from the South Moravian plains.

⛪

Brno Cityscape

Clear views of the Cathedral of St. Peter and Paul and the Špilberk Fortress dominating the Moravian landscape.

🌇

Prague Approach

When landing on Runway 24, this side provides a stunning panoramic view of the Vltava River loops and the historic city center.

The right side is the best for urban geography. For the highest chance of seeing Prague’s Old Town, hope for a landing on Runway 24. Be prepared with your camera approximately 15 minutes before landing as the plane descends over the scenic Moravian wine region and toward the Vltava valley.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏙️

New Belgrade

Immediate views of the Sava river confluence and the modern high-rise architecture of the Serbian capital after takeoff.

🌊

Lake Balaton

The long, slender turquoise expanse of Central Europe's largest lake is visible as you traverse western Hungary.

🏔️

Austrian Alpine Foothills

On exceptionally clear days, the distant snow-capped peaks of the Eastern Alps can be seen far to the southwest.

🌲

Šumava National Park

Dense, rolling forest landscapes characterizing the border regions between Czechia, Austria, and Germany.

Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you, reducing glare on the window. This side is ideal for nature lovers wanting to spot the 'Hungarian Sea' (Balaton) and the rolling hills of the Bohemian Forest. Use a polarized filter for photos to capture the deep blues of the lakes.
