Which side of the plane to sit from Gran Canaria Airport (Gran Canaria) to Václav Havel Airport Prague (Prague)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a spectacular view of Mount Teide on Tenerife shortly after takeoff and provides the most dramatic perspective of the Alps and the Atlantic coastline as you head north.
Mount Teide & Tenerife
Shortly after departure, look back for a stunning view of Spain's highest peak rising above the clouds.
Portuguese Coastline
Exquisite views of the rugged Atlantic cliffs and the Tagus River estuary near Lisbon as the plane tracks north.
The Pyrenees
Glance out as you cross the border between Spain and France for the snow-capped ridges of the western Pyrenees.
Swiss and French Alps
On a clear day, the distant jagged peaks of the western Alps, including Mont Blanc, are often visible during the cruise phase.
Loire Valley
The winding rivers and historical estates of central France are visible as you transition toward Central Europe.
Choose a seat in front of the wing to capture the best photos of Tenerife's volcanic landscape without engine blur. For daytime flights, the sun will be behind you or to the right, providing perfect lighting for the coast and mountains. Keep your camera ready in the first 15 minutes and the last 45 minutes of the flight.
Fuerteventura and Lanzarote
Depending on the departure path, you may see the arid, golden landscapes of the eastern Canary Islands.
Spanish Meseta
The high, vast plateaus of central Spain offer a unique geometric patchwork of red and ochre earth.
Madrid Metropolitan Area
The sprawling capital of Spain often appears as a dense urban grid in the middle of the Iberian peninsula.
Rhine River
As you descend toward Prague, you may cross over the industrial heartland and winding paths of the Rhine or Danube.
Bohemian Forest
Deep green forests and rolling hills mark your entry into Czech airspace as you approach Prague.
The right side can get quite warm during afternoon flights due to direct sunlight. It is excellent for spotting the smaller Canary Islands during takeoff if the wind dictates an eastward departure. During the winter months, watch for the striking contrast of the snow-covered Bohemian hills just before landing at PRG.
