Which side of the plane to sit from Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport (Nice) to Václav Havel Airport Prague (Prague)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers an exceptional perspective of the glitzy French Riviera immediately after takeoff, followed by a dramatic traversal of the Italian Lakes and a high probability of seeing the Prague city skyline during the final approach.
Principality of Monaco
Look down shortly after takeoff to see the dense skyscrapers, Port Hercule, and the Prince's Palace.
Milan Metropolitan Area
The sprawling industrial heart of Lombardy, often featuring the distinct shape of the San Siro stadium.
Lake Como & Garda
The deep blue, Y-shaped Lake Como and the massive Lake Garda nestled at the foot of the Italian Alps.
The Dolomites
The distinct, jagged limestone peaks of the Italian Alps rising sharply to the east of the flight path.
Prague City Center
During the standard approach to Runway 24, this side provides a stunning panorama of the Vltava River and Prague Castle.
Keep your camera ready immediately after wheels-up for the best view of Monaco. During the descent into Prague, the right side is statistically more likely to offer a view of the 'City of a Hundred Spires' depending on the wind direction. Afternoon flights on this side may experience some glare.
Baie des Anges
Aerial views of the iconic crescent-shaped bay and the Promenade des Anglais as the plane climbs over the Mediterranean.
Mercantour National Park
The rugged, snow-dusted peaks of the Southern French Alps appearing shortly after the coastal ascent.
Lake Constance
A massive glacial lake at the intersection of Germany, Switzerland, and Austria, visible during the mid-flight cruise.
Munich & Allianz Arena
On clear days, the urban layout of the Bavarian capital and its glowing white football stadium can be spotted to the north.
Bohemian Forest
The dense, dark greenery of the Šumava mountains marking the border crossing into the Czech Republic.
Choose the left side for better lighting during morning flights to avoid the direct southern sun. This side is superior for viewing the expansive Alpine range during the middle third of the flight. Watch for the 'Grand Canyon of France' (Verdon Gorge) if the flight path tracks slightly west.
