Which side of the plane to sit from Newcastle Airport (Newcastle) to Václav Havel Airport Prague (Prague)?
Left Side of the Plane
The Left Side is the clear winner for this route, primarily for the spectacular views of Prague's historic center and the Vltava River during the standard approach into Václav Havel Airport, as well as clear views of the Frisian Islands and the North German Plain.
East Anglian Coast
Clear views of the Norfolk coastline and the North Sea transition after leaving UK airspace.
Frisian Islands
The unique chain of islands along the Dutch and German coast, showcasing dramatic sandbars and tidal flats.
Harz Mountains
The northernmost mountain range in Germany, featuring dense forests and the prominent Brocken peak.
Prague City Center
On the standard approach to Runway 24, you get a breathtaking view of Prague Castle, the Charles Bridge, and the Old Town.
Sit on the left for the best chance to see Prague's 'Thousand Spires' during descent. For morning flights, this side will be shaded, providing better conditions for photography without glare from the sun. Watch for the change from the flat North Sea to the intricate polders of the Netherlands.
Port of Rotterdam
Views of one of the world's largest and most complex shipping ports and the Maas River delta.
The Ruhr Sprawl
The massive industrial and urban heartland of Western Germany, visible as a continuous carpet of cityscape.
Ore Mountains
The Erzgebirge range forming the natural border between Saxony and Bohemia, often snow-capped in winter.
Bohemian Countryside
The patchwork of yellow rapeseed fields and green forests as you cross into the Czech Republic.
The right side offers superior views of the industrial Ruhr area and the Ore Mountains. If the airport is using Runway 06 for landings due to wind changes, this side actually becomes the one for the city view. Keep an eye out for the Elbe River winding through the German-Czech border region.
