Prague Panorama
Depending on the flight path, a clear view of the Vltava River and the 'City of a Hundred Spires' is common.
Ore Mountains
The dramatic ridges of the Krušné hory marking the natural border between Czechia and Germany.
Ruhr Valley
The massive industrial landscape and stadium lights of Dortmund and Essen in Western Germany.
Dutch Polders
The unique geometric patterns of reclaimed land and sea defenses along the Netherlands coastline.
Port of Felixstowe
Massive container ships and giant cranes at the UK's busiest port as you cross the North Sea into Suffolk.
The right side is the 'photographer's side' for this route. It typically avoids direct sunlight on westbound flights, making it easier to capture the North Sea crossing and the intricate Dutch coastline. Keep your camera ready about 15 minutes after takeoff for a potential look at Prague and again during the North Sea crossing for maritime traffic.

Brno Historic Center
Excellent views of Petrov Hill and the Cathedral of St. Peter and Paul immediately after takeoff.
Bohemian-Moravian Highlands
Rolling green landscapes and dense forests of the Vysočina region during the first 20 minutes.
Rhine-Main Area
The dense transport networks and industrial hubs of central Germany, including views towards Frankfurt.
Brussels Sprawl
The expansive urban footprint of the Belgian capital visible as the aircraft moves toward the coast.
Distant London
On clear days during the descent into Stansted, the distant skyline of the City and Canary Wharf may be visible.
Sit on the left for the best morning light, as the sun will be behind you for most of the westbound flight. This side is ideal for spotting the sprawling urban centers of Belgium and the distant London skyline during the final descent. Be aware that glare can be an issue on late afternoon flights.
