Which side of the plane to sit from London Luton Airport (London) to Václav Havel Airport Prague (Prague)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the English Channel, the Rhine River valley, and the most iconic perspectives of the Prague cityscape during the standard approach into Václav Havel Airport.
The English Channel
Excellent views of the busy shipping lanes and the white cliffs of the Kent coastline.
Rhine River Valley
The majestic meandering of the Rhine River, surrounded by German vineyards and historic towns near Frankfurt.
Frankfurt Skyline
The impressive cluster of skyscrapers in Germany's financial hub is often visible mid-flight.
Bohemian Forest
The lush, rolling hills of the German-Czech border region as the aircraft enters Czech airspace.
Prague City Center
The most famous view of the Vltava River, the Charles Bridge, and the Old Town during the standard approach to Runway 24.
The right side is highly recommended for the arrival. Most flights land on Runway 24, which typically involves a flight path south of the city, placing the historic center and the Prague Castle directly in your line of sight. For evening flights, you may encounter some sun glare while flying east-southeast, so keep your window shade ready.
Thames Estuary
Aerial views of the winding river mouth and the Essex coastline shortly after takeoff from Luton.
Port of Zeebrugge
A clear perspective of the massive Belgian shipping terminal and the North Sea coastline.
Eindhoven & Dutch Plains
The grid-like urban layout of the southern Netherlands and the surrounding flat agricultural landscapes.
Harz Mountains
Distant views of Northern Germany's highest mountain range visible to the north on clear days.
Northern Prague Suburbs
A view of the residential areas and green spaces of the Czech Republic during the final descent.
Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. This side is better for observing the industrial and coastal geography of the Low Countries and Northern Germany. It offers a quieter, more scenic landscape view without direct glare.
