Which side of the plane to sit from Dublin Airport (Dublin) to Václav Havel Airport Prague (Prague)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers a superior vantage point for seeing the Wicklow Mountains upon departure, the urban sprawl of London during the UK crossing, and the stunning architecture of Prague, including the castle and Vltava River, on the final approach into Václav Havel Airport.
Wicklow Mountains
Beautiful views of the rolling green hills and glens south of Dublin shortly after departure.
Greater London
On many flight paths, you can spot the Thames, the Shard, and the London Eye from a distance.
English Channel
Bird's-eye view of one of the world's busiest shipping lanes and the white cliffs of the south coast.
Frankfurt Skyline
The high-rise financial district of Frankfurt, known as 'Mainhattan', is often visible in the distance.
Prague Cityscape
During the final descent, this side typically provides a breathtaking view of Prague Castle and the Old Town.
Seat yourself on the right for the best chance to see Prague's historic center. If landing on Runway 24 (the most common wind direction), the right side provides a panoramic view of the 'City of a Hundred Spires'. Late afternoon flights provide excellent lighting for photography over the rolling landscapes of Germany and Czechia.
Dublin Bay & Howth
Dramatic views of the Howth Peninsula and the Irish Sea immediately after takeoff from Dublin.
Snowdonia National Park
The rugged mountain peaks of North Wales are visible as you cross from the Irish Sea into the UK.
Dutch Archipelago
Clear views of the intricate coastline, dykes, and the Frisian Islands of the Netherlands.
Harz Mountains
The northernmost mountain range in Germany, featuring dense forests and historic towns like Quedlinburg.
Elbe River Basin
The wide, meandering Elbe river as it flows through the northern Czech Republic toward the border.
The left side is preferable for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare while viewing the North Sea coast. If the plane approaches PRG from the northeast (Runway 24), this side offers a better look at the industrial heritage of Northern Bohemia. Watch for the distinctive wind farms along the German and Dutch borders.
