Our Recommendation
7.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side is generally superior for this route as it offers distant views of the High Tatras and, most importantly, provides the classic aerial panorama of Prague Castle and the historic Old Town during the standard approach into Václav Havel Airport.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🌾

Don River Basin

Expansive views of the fertile agricultural heartland of Southern Russia immediately after departing Krasnodar.

🏔️

High Tatra Mountains

On clear days, the sharp, snow-capped granite peaks of the Tatras along the Slovak-Polish border are visible to the north.

🏰

Kraków Region

The historic landscape of Southern Poland, often featuring the distant silhouette of the Beskids mountain range.

⛰️

Giant Mountains (Krkonoše)

The highest mountain range in the Czech Republic visible on the northern horizon as the plane enters Czech airspace.

🏰

Prague Castle and Vltava

The iconic view of the Hradčany district, Charles Bridge, and the red roofs of the Lesser Town during the final turn for landing.

The right side is the 'money side' for the arrival into Prague. Most flights landing on Runway 24 will perform a turn that showcases the city center and the Castle to passengers on the right. For evening flights, the golden hour light hitting the Bohemian landscape and the 'City of a Hundred Spires' is exceptionally beautiful.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🌊

Sea of Azov

Aerial views of the shallowest sea in the world and the narrow spits of the Russian coastline shortly after takeoff.

🏙️

Dnieper River

Cruising over the massive reservoir system and the winding blue ribbon of Ukraine's primary waterway.

🏔️

Southern Carpathians

The rugged, forested peaks of the Romanian and Ukrainian Carpathian range provide a dramatic vertical landscape mid-flight.

🌉

Danube Lowlands

The fertile plains of the Danube basin appearing as a patchwork of green and gold fields as you enter Central Europe.

🛶

Vltava River Valley

The deep, meandering valley of the Vltava river south of Prague visible during the initial descent phases.

Choose the left side for morning departures to have the sun behind you, illuminating the landscape perfectly. This side is also excellent for spotting the high-altitude glacial lakes in the Carpathians if the flight path tracks slightly south. During the final approach, look for the industrial yet historical outskirts of southern Prague.
