LIN → PRG
Which side of the plane to sit from Milano Linate Airport (Milan) to Václav Havel Airport Prague (Prague)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of the high Central Alps, including the Bernina Range, and a classic aerial perspective of Lake Como shortly after departure.
Milan Skyline
Upon departure from Linate, view the Porta Nuova skyscrapers and the Duomo di Milano to the west.
Lake Como
Look for the iconic inverted 'Y' shape of Lake Como and the steep mountains of the Grigna massif.
Bernina Range
Witness the snow-capped peaks of Piz Bernina, the highest summit in the Eastern Alps, as you cross into Switzerland.
Bohemian Forest
As the plane enters Czech airspace, the dense green canopy of the Šumava National Park dominates the landscape.
Křivoklát Castle
During the final descent into PRG, catch a glimpse of this historic royal castle nestled in the woods west of Prague.
Sit on the left for morning flights to keep the sun behind you, providing the best contrast for Alpine photography. Watch for the transformation from the flat Po Valley to vertical rock faces within the first 15 minutes of flight.
Lake Garda
A distant but clear view of Italy's largest lake and the Sirmione peninsula if the flight path tracks slightly east.
The Dolomites
View the jagged, pale peaks of the Brenta Dolomites and the Adamello-Presanella glaciers to the northeast.
Bavarian Countryside
The geometric patterns of German farmland and the winding Isar River south of Munich are visible mid-flight.
Danube River
Cross the mighty Danube near Passau or Linz, where the river carves deep bends through the rolling hills.
Prague City Center
If landing on Runway 24, the right side often gets a sweeping view of the Vltava River and Prague's 'Hundred Spires'.
The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights to catch the 'Golden Hour' light hitting the Dolomites. On arrival, this side frequently offers the best views of the city center if the aircraft performs a southern circling approach.
