Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side is the preferred choice primarily for the arrival sequence into Prague, which often provides a breathtaking panorama of the historic city center, the Vltava river, and the castle complex during the descent.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏙️

London Skyline

Panoramic views of the Thames, the Shard, and the City of London shortly after takeoff if the flight departs to the east.

🇧🇪

Brussels Cityscape

The dense urban sprawl of the Belgian capital and the iconic Atomium are often visible to the north of the flight path.

🏰

Prague Castle

During the final approach to Runway 24, this side offers an unparalleled view of the world's largest ancient castle.

🌉

Vltava River Bridges

Spot the historic Charles Bridge and the series of spans crossing the river as the aircraft aligns with the runway.

🌊

Belgian Coastline

Views of the sandy beaches near Ostend and the busy maritime traffic entering the North Sea.

Book a seat forward of the wing to ensure your view of Prague's architecture isn't blocked. If the flight is in the late afternoon, the sun will be behind you, providing perfect lighting for photography of the city's famous red-tiled roofs. Landings are most scenic when approaching from the west on Runway 24.

Right Side Highlights
7.4
🏔️

White Cliffs of Dover

The striking white chalk facades of the English coast are visible as you transition over the English Channel.

🍇

Rhine River Valley

Observe the winding Rhine river and the steep, vineyard-covered hills of western Germany.

✈️

Frankfurt Airport

One of Europe's largest aviation hubs is often visible as the flight crosses central Germany.

🌲

Bohemian Forest

Rolling green hills and dense forests mark the entry into Czech airspace near the German border.

⛰️

Ore Mountains

The Erzgebirge range provides a scenic natural border between Saxony and Bohemia during the descent.

The right side offers great views of the English Channel and German industrial heartlands. Be aware that on eastbound morning flights, this side will face the direct sun, which may cause glare. It is the better side for viewing the rural landscapes of the Czech Republic if the flight takes a more southerly approach path.
