Which side of the plane to sit from Minsk National Airport (Minsk 2) to Václav Havel Airport Prague (Prague)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers the most dramatic views of the Giant Mountains (Krkonoše) on the Polish-Czech border and typically provides a superior angle of Prague's historic spires and the Vltava River during the final approach into Václav Havel Airport.
Polesia Lowlands
View the dense forests and vast marshy landscapes of southern Belarus shortly after departure from Minsk.
Wrocław Panorama
Spot the numerous bridges and islands of this historic Polish city as the flight crosses the Odra River.
Krkonoše Mountains
Look for Sněžka, the highest peak in the Czech Republic, marking the rugged transition from Poland.
Prague Old Town
On the descent, enjoy a breathtaking view of the 'City of a Hundred Spires' and the winding Vltava River.
Choose the left side for afternoon flights to keep the sun behind you. For the best approach views of Prague, watch for the change in engine pitch as you descend over the Central Bohemian region; if landing on Runway 24, the left side is essential for seeing the city center.
Minsk Urban Center
Catch a glimpse of the wide avenues and Soviet-era architecture of the Belarusian capital during the initial climb.
Vistula River
Follow the silver ribbon of Poland's longest river as it snakes through the Mazovian plains north of the flight path.
Bohemian Paradise
Observe the unique sandstone rock cities and medieval towers of Český ráj nestled in the northern Czech landscape.
Central European Plains
A patchwork of vibrant agricultural fields across Poland that changes color dramatically with the seasons.
The right side is ideal for morning departures to avoid glare. Keep an eye out for the distinctive sandstone formations near Turnov about 15 minutes before landing. In winter, this side often provides better views of the snow-covered plains of northern Poland.
