MAN → PRG
Which side of the plane to sit from Manchester Airport (Manchester) to Václav Havel Airport Prague (Prague)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the German industrial heartland, the scenic Thuringian Forest, and the dramatic Ore Mountains along the Czech border, plus a better angle for the Prague city approach.
London & Thames Estuary
On clear days, the distant skyline of London and the massive Thames Estuary are visible to the south.
Rotterdam Port
The sprawling infrastructure of Europe's largest seaport visible along the Dutch coastline.
The Ruhr Area
Germany's industrial powerhouse, a massive urban sprawl with iconic cooling towers and stadiums.
Thuringian Forest
Dense, dark green mountain ridges stretching across central Germany, known as the 'Green Heart'.
Ore Mountains
The Erzgebirge range marking the border between Germany and Czechia, dotted with historic mining towns.
Central Bohemian Highlands
Extinct volcanic peaks and winding rivers as the aircraft descends toward Václav Havel Airport.
The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights as the setting sun illuminates the Thuringian peaks. During the final approach into PRG, planes often bank south, offering a stunning panoramic view of the Bohemian countryside and the Vltava river.
Peak District
Rolling hills and limestone valleys of Derbyshire visible immediately after departure from Manchester.
The Wash & East Anglia
Distinctive coastal geography and the vast wetlands of eastern England before the North Sea crossing.
Dutch Polders
Intricate patterns of reclaimed land and drainage canals visible as you cross the Netherlands.
Northern Germany
Aerial views of Münster and the Westphalian Lowland's orderly agricultural grid.
Harz Mountains
The northernmost range in Germany, featuring the Brocken peak often shrouded in mist.
Choose this side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. Keep a keen eye out shortly after takeoff for the 'Green Lung' of England. During the descent, you may catch a glimpse of the Elbe river valley to the north.
