CDG → OSR
Which side of the plane to sit from Charles de Gaulle International Airport (Paris) to Ostrava Leos Janáček Airport (Ostrava)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior perspective of the Rhine-Main river valleys, the sprawling Frankfurt metropolitan area, and a scenic approach over the Moravian-Silesian Beskids mountains.
Upper Rhine Valley
Dramatic river bends and historic castles nestled in the hills between Mainz and the Frankfurt basin.
Frankfurt Skyline
A clear view of Germany's financial district skyscrapers and the massive FRA airport hub from cruising altitude.
Prague Distance View
The 'City of a Hundred Spires' is often visible to the south during the transit across central Bohemia.
Moravian-Silesian Beskids
Lush green mountain ranges and the prominent Lysá hora peak during the final descent into Ostrava.
Ostrava Industrial Heritage
The unique industrial landscape of the Lower Vítkovice area visible just before touchdown at OSR.
Choose the right side for morning flights to get the best illumination of the landscape. During descent, look for the contrast between the rugged Beskids mountains to the south and the industrial heritage of the Ostrava basin. If landing from the south, this side provides the best view of the city center.
Champagne Region
Rolling hills and world-famous vineyards of northeastern France shortly after departing CDG.
Luxembourg & Moselle
Aerial views of the Ardennes foothills and the winding Moselle river near the German border.
Dresden & Elbe Valley
The historic skyline of Dresden and the dramatic sandstone cliffs of the Saxon Switzerland National Park.
Krkonoše Mountains
The Giant Mountains on the Czech-Polish border, featuring Sněžka, the highest peak in the Czech Republic.
Sit on the left for the best lighting during afternoon flights to avoid direct sun glare. Watch for the distinct S-curves of the Elbe River near the border; the transition from German plains to Bohemian mountains is sharp and visually striking.
