Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers superior perspectives of the Rhine river, the dense Thuringian forests, and is typically positioned for the best views of Prague's historic center during the standard arrival patterns.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🚢

Rotterdam Harbor

Aerial view of the massive cranes and container ships in Europe's largest seaport.

🏰

Cologne & The Rhine

Spot the twin spires of the Cologne Cathedral and the winding silver ribbon of the Rhine River.

🌲

Thuringian Forest

A vast, deep-green landscape of ancient woodlands in central Germany.

🏙️

Leipzig Cityscape

Clear views of the historic trade fair city and its surrounding lake district.

⛪

Prague Old Town

On a standard approach to Runway 24, look for the 'City of a Hundred Spires' and the Vltava River.

The right side is highly recommended for the descent into Prague. If the aircraft lands toward the west (Runway 24), this side offers panoramic views of the Prague Castle and Charles Bridge. Evening flights are spectacular as the German industrial cities begin to light up.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🌊

The Wash & East Anglia

The unique silt patterns and coastline of the UK's largest estuary as you depart the English coast.

🇳🇱

Dutch Delta

Intricate views of the Netherlands' islands and complex water management systems.

🏭

The Ruhr Area

The dense industrial heartland of Germany, visible as a vast urban sprawl.

🏔️

Harz Mountains

Northern Germany's highest range, often capped with snow in winter months.

⛰️

Ore Mountains

The dramatic ridge line defining the natural border between Germany and the Czech Republic.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. It provides the best perspective of the North German Plain. Keep an eye out for the Elbe River as you cross into Czech airspace, which often glimmers in the afternoon light.
