Which side of the plane to sit from Kurumoch International Airport (Samara) to Václav Havel Airport Prague (Prague)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a superior view of the dramatic Samara Bend at takeoff and the prominent Krkonoše mountain range during the descent into Prague.
Samara Bend
A stunning 180-degree loop of the Volga River visible immediately after departing Kurumoch.
Central Russian Upland
Expansive vistas of the rolling hills and diverse agricultural patches of the Russian heartland.
Vistula River Basin
Aerial views of Poland's longest river as it winds through the southern plains towards the Sudetes.
Krkonoše Mountains
The highest peaks of the Czech Republic, including Sněžka, are clearly visible during the initial descent.
Bohemian Paradise
Look for the distinct sandstone rock towers and ancient castles scattered across the northern Czech landscape.
For the best photography, choose a seat ahead of the wing to capture the Samara Bend clearly. On afternoon flights, the sun will be on the left, so keep your window shade down during the cruise to avoid glare, but open it 20 minutes before landing for the Bohemian landscapes.
Tolyatti Reservoir
The massive Kuibyshev Reservoir and the industrial skyline of Tolyatti are visible shortly after takeoff.
Warsaw Suburbs
Distant views of the Polish capital's expanding metropolitan area and modern infrastructure.
Lower Silesian Forests
Dense, deep-green forest canopy stretching across the border regions of Poland and the Czech Republic.
Sudetes Foothills
The northern perspective of the mountain range that forms a natural border between Central European nations.
Elbe River Valley
The Labe river as it carves through northern Bohemia toward the German border near Dresden.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight. During the final approach into PRG, the right side often catches views of the northern outskirts of Prague and the Vltava river valley if the plane circles from the north.
