Oresund Bridge
A stunning view of the 8km cable-stayed bridge connecting Denmark and Sweden immediately after departure.
Rügen Island
The white chalk cliffs and sandy beaches of Germany's largest island visible over the Baltic Sea.
Berlin Sprawl
On clear days, the distant eastern suburbs and the sprawling landscape of the German capital are visible to the east.
Saxon Switzerland
The Elbe Sandstone Mountains provide a dramatic landscape of jagged rock formations as you cross into Czechia.
Prague City Center
Depending on the landing pattern, views of the Vltava River and the historic Old Town spires may appear during descent.
For the best experience, secure a window seat ahead of the wing. On morning flights, expect direct sunlight on this side; however, the early light beautifully illuminates the Saxon Switzerland mountains. Keep your camera ready within the first 5 minutes for the Oresund Bridge and the last 15 minutes for the Elbe valley approach.

Copenhagen Panorama
A wide-angle view of the Danish capital's modern architecture and harbor during the initial climb.
Rostock Port
The busy industrial and ferry port on the German Baltic coast is often clearly visible shortly after crossing the sea.
Mecklenburg Lake District
Thousands of small, interconnected lakes set against deep green forests in Northern Germany.
Ore Mountains
The forested ridgeline of the Erzgebirge which forms the natural border between Saxony and Bohemia.
PRG Airport Approach
Views of the small towns and rural landscapes of the Central Bohemian region during the final glide path.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights as the sun will be on the opposite side, reducing glare. It offers a more serene, pastoral view of the German and Czech countrysides. If the flight path takes a western approach into Prague, you will have a clear view of the Kladno region's industrial history and surrounding forests.
