Our Recommendation
8.7

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers superior views of the Tyrrhenian coastline during departure, the rolling hills of Tuscany, and a significantly better chance of seeing Prague's historic center on the final approach.

Left Side Highlights
8.7
🌋

Vesuvius & Bay of Naples

Immediate views of the volcano's crater and the islands of Ischia and Procida during the initial ascent.

🏛️

Tuscan Landscape

Aerial perspective of the iconic rolling hills, vineyards, and the city of Florence in the distance.

🏔️

Central Alpine Ridge

Dramatic crossing of the high Alps featuring snow-capped peaks and glacial valleys near the Austrian border.

🌲

Šumava National Park

Dense, dark green forests marking the border between the Czech Republic and Germany.

🏰

Prague Cityscape

If landing on Runway 24, this side provides a stunning view of the Vltava River, Charles Bridge, and Prague Castle.

For morning flights, the left side avoids direct sunlight, providing better conditions for photography. Aim for a seat ahead of the wing to capture the full sweep of the Alps without engine interference. During the descent into Prague, keep your camera ready for the Vltava river loops.

Right Side Highlights
8.4
🌋

Mount Vesuvius

A close-up view of the majestic cone of Vesuvius shortly after takeoff from Naples.

🏖️

Adriatic Coastline

Glittering views of the Italian east coast and the turquoise waters near Ancona and Rimini.

🏔️

The Dolomites

Spectacular jagged limestone peaks and high-altitude plateaus of the Eastern Alps.

⛰️

Grossglockner

Austria's highest peak is often visible as a prominent spire during the mid-flight cruise.

💧

Lipno Reservoir

A large, scenic body of water known as the South Bohemian Sea, visible during the descent.

The right side is ideal for mountain lovers as it often tracks closer to the dramatic Dolomites. Note that in the afternoon, this side will face the sun, which can cause significant glare. Watch for the sharp contrast between the flat Po Valley and the sudden rise of the Alps.
