Which side of the plane to sit from Brussels Airport (Brussels) to Václav Havel Airport Prague (Prague)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior perspective of the dramatic Saxon Switzerland sandstone mountains and the winding Elbe river before the descent into Prague, while avoiding the direct glare of the southern sun during typical daytime flights.

Prague North Approach
Views of the Vltava river meanders and the northern residential districts like Dejvice as you align for landing.
For the most dramatic view of the Saxon Switzerland cliffs, opt for a morning flight when the sun illuminates the rock faces from the southeast. Choose a seat forward of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Elbe river's sharp bends. This side is also better for photography as you'll be looking away from the sun's path.
