Which side of the plane to sit from Boryspil International Airport (Kiev) to Václav Havel Airport Prague (Prague)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior panoramic view of the Carpathian Mountains, specifically the High Tatras, providing a dramatic landscape contrast compared to the flatter northern plains.
Dnieper River Bend
Panoramic views of the winding Dnieper river as the aircraft climbs away from the Kyiv region.
High Tatra Mountains
Jagged, snow-capped peaks along the Polish-Slovak border, offering the most dramatic scenery of the flight.
Beskids Range
Lush, forested hills of the Outer Western Carpathians stretching across the horizon.
Kraków Vista
Views of Poland's historic cultural capital and its surrounding industrial landscapes.
Brno Architecture
The administrative center of Moravia with its distinctive Spilberk Castle visible during the initial descent.
To maximize views of the High Tatras, aim for an afternoon flight when the sun is in the southwest, illuminating the mountain faces. Sit behind the wing to ensure your photos of the Carpathian range are not obstructed by the engine. Keep your camera ready about 45-60 minutes into the flight for the best mountain peaks.
Kyiv Cityscape
A sprawling view of the Ukrainian capital's northern districts and the Obolon skyline upon takeoff.
Mazovian Lowlands
Intricate patterns of agricultural fields and rural villages stretching across central Poland.
Krkonoše Mountains
Also known as the Giant Mountains, these peaks mark the border between Poland and the Czech Republic.
Upper Silesian Industrial Region
A unique look at the dense network of cities and industrial architecture around Katowice.
Prague Suburbs
Detailed views of the red-roofed suburban residential areas as the plane aligns for its final approach to PRG.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the direct southern sun glare. During the final approach into Prague, the right side often provides a glimpse of the Vltava River and the city's northern outskirts. Use a polarizing filter if taking photos to cut through the haze over the Polish plains.
