Search flights from PRG to ALA
Greater Caucasus Range
An uninterrupted chain of snow-capped peaks stretching across the horizon between the Black and Caspian Seas.
Mount Elbrus
The distinct double-summit of Europe's highest mountain is frequently visible above the cloud layer.
Baku and Absheron
The industrial curves of the Absheron Peninsula and the urban sprawl of Azerbaijan's capital on the Caspian coast.
Trans-Ili Alatau
Massive, jagged mountains rising to nearly 5,000 meters that sit directly on the southern edge of Almaty city.
This is the 'scenic' side for this route. Sit behind the wing for the best views of the Caucasus. As most flights arrive in Almaty at dawn or early morning, the rising sun will illuminate the Tien Shan mountains on your right, providing a spectacular finale to the journey. Be sure to check the flight path as many carriers now route south of the Black Sea to avoid closed airspace.

Prague Cityscape
Panoramic views of the Vltava River and the historical spires of Prague shortly after takeoff from Ruzyne.
Northern Caspian Sea
The unique turquoise hues of the shallow northern Caspian coastline and its shifting sandbars.
Ustyurt Plateau
Vast, desolate desert landscapes and dramatic clay cliffs that define the border between Europe and Central Asia.
North Aral Sea
The remaining basins of the Aral Sea, showing the stark environmental transformation of the region's geography.
The left side is perfect for capturing the vastness of the Eurasian Steppe without the glare of the southern sun. For night flights, this side offers a clear view of the stars away from the moon's path, and during early morning arrivals, the soft light beautifully highlights the textures of the Kazakh desert.
