Which side of the plane to sit from Václav Havel Airport Prague (Prague) to Bristol Airport (Bristol)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior lighting and a higher probability of seeing the London skyline and the intricate Dutch coastline while avoiding the direct glare of the sun on this westbound route.
Rotterdam Port
One of the largest and most complex port facilities in the world located along the Dutch coast.
Thames Estuary
The wide, shimmering mouth of the River Thames where it meets the North Sea.
London Landmarks
Distant but clear views of the Shard, the O2 Arena, and the winding Thames if the path stays north of the city.
The Cotswolds
Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty featuring rolling hills and quintessential English countryside.
Severn Bridges
The iconic suspension bridges connecting England and Wales can often be seen just before landing.
The right side is ideal for photography because it faces north, away from the sun, providing consistent lighting. Look out for the North Sea coastline of the Netherlands approximately 45-60 minutes into the flight.
Prague Castle
A stunning aerial view of the historic city center and the Vltava river immediately after takeoff.
Bohemian Forest
Dense green landscapes marking the border between the Czech Republic and Germany.
Brussels
The sprawling urban center of the Belgian capital and the surrounding lowlands.
English Channel
The busy shipping lanes and the transition from the European mainland to the British Isles.
Mendip Hills
Dramatic limestone ridges and the greenery of Somerset as the plane descends into Bristol.
Sit on the left for the best views of the Mendip Hills and Cheddar Gorge during the final approach. However, be prepared for significant sun glare if flying during the afternoon, as the sun will be positioned to the south.
