KSCPRG

Which side of the plane to sit from Košice Airport (Kosice) to Václav Havel Airport Prague (Prague)?

Our Recommendation
9.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a front-row seat to the dramatic High Tatras peaks shortly after takeoff and typically provides a better view of Prague's historic center during the final approach.

Right Side Highlights
9.2
🏔️

High Tatras

The highest range of the Carpathians with jagged granite peaks like Gerlachovský štít.

🌲

Greater Fatra

Lush green ridges and deep valleys of the Veľká Fatra National Park.

⛰️

Beskids Mountains

The forested border peaks between Slovakia, Poland, and the Czech Republic.

🏗️

Ostrava Region

The industrial heart of Czechia, recognizable by its unique mining and steelworks silhouettes.

🏰

Prague Panorama

During standard landing patterns, you can see the Vltava bridges and the Prague Castle complex.

Sit on the right for the High Tatras, which appear within 10-15 minutes of takeoff. For the best photos, choose a seat ahead of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. During the descent into PRG, the right side often catches the iconic orange rooftops of the Old Town.

Left Side Highlights
7.4
🏔️

Low Tatras National Park

View the long ridge of the Nízke Tatry, including Chopok and Ďumbier peaks.

🏰

Brno Cityscape

The capital of Moravia is visible with the Špilberk Castle and Petrov Cathedral standing out.

🌳

Bohemian-Moravian Highlands

A mosaic of forests and fields characterizing the Vysočina region's rolling terrain.

🌊

Vltava River Meanders

The winding curves of the Vltava river as the flight approaches the Prague basin.

The left side is ideal for catching the sunset if flying westward in the late afternoon. It offers a broader view of the Moravian plains and the industrial outskirts of Brno. Look for the D1 motorway snaking through the Highlands as a navigational landmark.
