EDIPRG

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side is superior for this route as it typically offers the most iconic views of both Edinburgh's historic skyline upon departure and the winding Vltava River with Prague's red-roofed city center during the final approach.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏰

Edinburgh Old Town

A stunning bird's-eye view of Edinburgh Castle, the Royal Mile, and the dormant volcano of Arthur's Seat shortly after departure.

🌳

Yorkshire Dales

Aerial perspectives of the rolling green hills and stone-walled fields of Northern England's famous national parks.

🏭

Rhine-Ruhr Industrial Heart

View the dense network of cities and industrial architecture as the flight passes over Western Germany.

🇨🇿

Prague Cityscape

When landing on Runway 24, this side provides the most direct view of Prague Castle and the Vltava River looping through the city.

On the right side, keep your camera ready within 5 minutes of takeoff for the best view of Edinburgh. On the approach to PRG, if the wind is from the west, the plane will circle the city, giving you a perfect view of the 'City of a Hundred Spires' from the right windows.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🌉

Firth of Forth Bridges

Immediately after takeoff, see the UNESCO-listed Forth Bridge and the modern Queensferry Crossing spanning the estuary.

🌊

North Sea Coastline

Panoramic views of the rugged East Lothian coast and the Farne Islands as the flight heads southeast toward the continent.

🏔️

Ore Mountains (Krušné hory)

Upon entering Czech airspace, view the snow-capped or forested peaks that form the natural border between Germany and Czechia.

🏙️

Northern German Plains

Vast agricultural landscapes and the sprawl of cities like Hannover or Leipzig as you transit central Europe.

The left side is best for observing the dramatic coastline of the UK. For the best lighting, morning flights offer a softer glow on the North Sea, while late afternoon flights might experience glare from the west.
