Which side of the plane to sit from Bristol Airport (Bristol) to Václav Havel Airport Prague (Prague)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is generally superior for this route, offering excellent views of the southern English coastline, the rolling hills of the Ardennes, and the dramatic landscape of the Bohemian Forest upon entering Czech airspace.
Isle of Wight
Shortly after departure, view the distinct diamond shape of the island and the Solent.
White Cliffs of Dover
Stunning views of the chalk cliffs and the busy English Channel shipping lanes.
Ardennes Forest
The dense, hilly woodland stretching across Belgium and Luxembourg offers a lush green tapestry.
Frankfurt Skyline
The high-rise financial district known as 'Mainhattan' is often visible as you transit central Germany.
Bohemian Forest
The mountainous border region between Germany and Czechia, marking the final stage of the journey.
Choose the right side for the most iconic landmarks. During the final descent into Prague, this side frequently offers a better view of the city center and the historic Prague Castle if the wind dictates a western approach. For late afternoon flights, be prepared for some sun glare as you head east-southeast.
Greater London
On a clear day, the vast sprawl of London and the winding River Thames are visible to the south.
Zeeland Delta
The intricate network of islands and dams in the Southwestern Netherlands is clearly visible during the North Sea crossing.
Ruhr Valley
The industrial heartland of Germany, featuring a dense network of cities including Essen and Dortmund.
Harz Mountains
Look for the Brocken peak, the highest point in Northern Germany, often shrouded in mist.
Northern Prague Approach
Views of the Vltava River snaking through the landscape as the plane descends toward Ruzyně.
The left side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. It provides the best perspective of the Dutch coastline and the North German Plain. If the flight path takes a more northerly route, you might catch a glimpse of the Frisian Islands.
