Which side of the plane to sit from Zvartnots International Airport (Yerevan) to Václav Havel Airport Prague (Prague)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a front-row seat to the iconic Mount Ararat shortly after takeoff, followed by dramatic views of the Anatolian plateau and the Danube river basin.
Mount Ararat
The legendary snow-capped dormant volcano rises majestically just south of the flight path minutes after departing EVN.
Pontic Mountains
Rugged, verdant peaks stretching along the northeastern coast of Turkey, providing a dramatic landscape.
The Danube River
Glimpses of Europe's second-longest river as it winds through the Balkan and Pannonian plains.
Belgrade
The Serbian capital and the confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers can often be spotted on clear days.
Prague Approach
Depending on the wind, the left side often provides a stunning aerial view of the Vltava river and the city's spires before landing.
Sit on the left for the most iconic view of the entire trip: Mount Ararat. For morning flights, the sun will be behind you, providing perfectly lit photos of the Armenian highlands. Ensure you are alert within the first 10-15 minutes of departure for the best mountain views.
Mount Aragats
Armenia's highest peak, a four-peaked volcanic massif, is visible to the north shortly after takeoff.
Black Sea Coast
Beautiful views of the deep blue waters and the coastal cities of Georgia and Turkey as you head west.
Carpathian Mountains
The 'Transylvanian Alps' of Romania offer dense forests and jagged ridges stretching toward the horizon.
Budapest
If the flight path trends north, you may catch a distant view of the Hungarian Parliament and the bridges of Buda.
Central Bohemian Highlands
Rolling hills and a mosaic of agricultural fields typical of the Czech countryside during descent.
The right side is ideal for seeing the Black Sea and the vast arc of the Carpathian Mountains. In the afternoon, this side is shaded, making it easier to take photos without window glare. It is also the better side for viewing Mount Aragats immediately after leaving Yerevan.
