Which side of the plane to sit from Leeds Bradford Airport (Leeds) to Václav Havel Airport Prague (Prague)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer great views of Western Europe, the right side typically provides a more dramatic approach into Prague and superior views of major German cities and the Rhine River.

Lincolnshire Wolds
Classic English countryside views featuring rolling green hills and patchwork fields after takeoff.
Rhine Valley
A stunning perspective of the Rhine river as it snakes through the industrial heart of Germany.
Cologne Cathedral
On clear days, the twin spires of the Kölner Dom are visible amidst the urban sprawl.
Frankfurt Skyline
View the 'Mainhattan' skyscrapers and one of Europe's busiest aviation hubs from cruising altitude.
Prague City Center
If landing on Runway 24, this side offers a spectacular panoramic view of the Vltava River and the Old Town.
The right side is the winner for the arrival phase. Most flights into Prague loop around the city to land facing west; if this happens, the right side gets a perfect view of the 'City of a Hundred Spires.' During the winter, the low sun can be bright, so bring sunglasses for midday flights.

Humber Bridge
Visible shortly after departure, look for the iconic suspension bridge crossing the Humber Estuary.
Wadden Sea
As you cross the Dutch coast, see the unique tidal flats and the Frisian Islands to the north.
Port of Rotterdam
Distant but distinct views of one of the world's largest shipping hubs as you enter mainland Europe.
Elbe River
The winding river acts as a guide as you transition from Northern Germany into Saxony.
Ore Mountains
Snow-capped in winter, these peaks define the natural border between Germany and the Czech Republic.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the southern sun. This side is excellent for spotting the North Sea coastline and the dramatic transition into the Bohemian landscape. Keep your camera ready about 15 minutes before landing for the mountain views.
