Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side of the aircraft offers a spectacular panoramic view of the distant Alps to the south and a better perspective of the Bohemian countryside during the approach into Prague.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
🏔️

The Alpine Horizon

A stunning, continuous view of the Swiss and Bavarian Alps stretching across the southern horizon for the first half of the flight.

💧

Lake Constance

Depending on the specific flight path, the massive Bodensee where Germany, Switzerland, and Austria meet may be visible.

🍺

Bavarian Heartland

The characteristic patchwork of Bavarian farmland and small red-roofed villages south of the Danube.

🌲

Šumava National Park

Also known as the Bohemian Forest, this vast green lung marks the entry into Czech airspace.

🏰

Karlštejn Castle

As the plane descends toward PRG, look for this iconic 14th-century Gothic castle nestled in the hills southwest of Prague.

This side is superior for mountain lovers; on a clear day, the Alps are unmistakable. During the approach into Prague (usually Runway 24), the right side often gets a sweeping view of the Vltava river valley. Evening flights are particularly beautiful as the sun sets behind you, illuminating the mountains in gold.

Left Side Highlights
6.8
🌲

Black Forest

Immediately after takeoff, witness the dense, dark evergreen canopy of the Schwarzwald in Southern Germany.

🏰

Swabian Jura

View the dramatic limestone plateaus and occasional hilltop castles typical of the Baden-Württemberg region.

🏙️

Nuremberg Metro

On a northerly track, the historic city of Nuremberg and its surrounding industrial landscape are visible mid-flight.

⛰️

Upper Palatinate Forest

The low mountain range forming the natural border between Germany and the Czech Republic.

Early morning flights will experience direct sunlight on this side, which can cause glare; however, it is the best side to view the Rhine River valley during the initial climb. Use a polarizing filter for photos to cut through the atmospheric haze over the German industrial heartland.
