Which side of the plane to sit from Charles de Gaulle International Airport (Paris) to Václav Havel Airport Prague (Prague)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side is preferred for potential views of the Paris city center upon departure and a clearer perspective of the winding Rhine River and the historic city of Nuremberg during the cruise phase.

Paris Cityscape
On standard departures, catch glimpses of the Eiffel Tower, Sacré-Cœur, and the Seine winding through the capital.
Rhine River Valley
Spot the majestic Rhine River as it passes through Mainz and Wiesbaden, surrounded by lush greenery.
Nuremberg
Look for the distinctive medieval fortifications and the Imperial Castle in this historic Bavarian city.
Pilsen (Plzeň)
The birthplace of Pilsner beer is easily identifiable by its large brewery complex and the high spire of St. Bartholomew's Cathedral.
The Right Side is best for morning flights as the sun will be behind or above you. For the best chance to see Paris, hope for a western takeoff followed by a sharp turn east. During the descent, look for the deep green forests of the Bohemian massifs.
