Which side of the plane to sit from M. R. Štefánik Airport (Bratislava) to Václav Havel Airport Prague (Prague)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer scenic views of the rolling Central European landscape, the right side is preferred for its superior view of the historic Prague city center and the Vltava River during the final approach into Václav Havel Airport.

Brno Cityscape
Views of the second-largest Czech city, including the Petrov Cathedral and Špilberk Castle.
Trnava
Known as the Slovak Rome, its many church steeples are visible shortly after departure from BTS.
Vltava River Meanders
The dramatic bends of the Vltava river as the plane begins its descent into the Bohemian basin.
Prague Old Town
On the standard approach to Runway 24, you get a panoramic view of Prague's red-roofed center and bridges.
The right side is essential for catching the 'City of a Hundred Spires' during the landing sequence. Afternoon flights are particularly beautiful as the sun sets behind the Bohemian hills, illuminating the Prague skyline in gold. If landing from the west (Runway 06), look for the Karlštejn Castle in the distance.
