Frankfurt Skyline
A stunning view of the 'Mainhattan' skyscrapers and the Main River shortly after takeoff from runways 07C/R.
Vogelsberg Mountains
The extinct volcanic massif of the Vogelsberg offers a unique landscape of rolling green hills.
Thuringian Forest
A vast expanse of dense evergreen forest that stretches across central Germany.
Ore Mountains (Erzgebirge)
The rugged mountain ridge that forms the natural border between Germany and the Czech Republic.
Northern Prague
Views of the Troja district, the Prague Zoo, and the northern bends of the Vltava River during final approach.
For the best experience, choose a seat well ahead of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. Morning flights are ideal for the left side as the sun remains to the south, illuminating the Ore Mountains and the Bohemian landscape perfectly without glare. During winter, look for the snow-capped peaks of the Erzgebirge which contrast sharply with the dark forests.

Karlštejn Castle
On certain approach patterns to PRG, you can spot this iconic 14th-century Gothic castle nestled in the hills.
Prague Airport Grounds
A clear view of the airfield and the surrounding Central Bohemian countryside if landing on Runway 24.
The right side is excellent for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. Watch for the Berounka River valley as the plane begins its final descent; the limestone cliffs and dense woods are particularly beautiful in autumn. If the aircraft circles for landing, you may catch a glimpse of the southern Prague suburbs and the Vltava river valley.
