Which side of the plane to sit from Pulkovo Airport (St. Petersburg) to Václav Havel Airport Prague (Prague)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior visual experience, featuring the stunning coastline of the Baltic Sea, the unique geometry of the Curonian Spit, and a scenic approach over the Sudeten Mountains near the Czech border.
Gulf of Finland
Beautiful views of the water and various islands as the flight departs St. Petersburg and follows the Baltic coast.
Tallinn & Estonian Coast
Aerial perspectives of the historic Estonian capital and the jagged coastline of the Baltic states.
Curonian Spit
A breathtaking UNESCO World Heritage site consisting of a 98km-long thin sand-dune spit visible from high altitude.
Gdańsk Bay
The industrial and historic port of Gdańsk and the distinctive needle-like Hel Peninsula stretching into the sea.
Sudeten Mountains
Rugged terrain and dense forests along the Polish-Czech border that mark the final approach into Prague.
Choose the right side for sunset views on evening flights. The Curonian Spit is the highlight of this route; watch for a very thin line of sand between two bodies of water about halfway through the trip. During winter, the Sudeten mountains are often snow-capped, providing a dramatic entry into Czech airspace.
Lake Peipus
The massive transboundary lake between Russia and Estonia, visible shortly after reaching cruising altitude.
Warsaw Cityscape
A clear view of the Polish capital's evolving skyline and the winding Vistula River.
Mazovian Lowlands
The patchwork of agricultural fields and small villages across the heart of Poland.
Wroclaw
The 'City of Bridges' often appears during the initial descent phase, showcasing its unique urban layout.
The left side is best for mid-day flights as it avoids direct glare from the sun when traveling southwest. Look for the massive scale of Lake Peipus early in the flight; it is one of the largest lakes in Europe.
