PRGCDG

Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior panoramic experience, featuring potential distant views of the snow-capped Alps to the south and a more favorable angle of the Parisian skyline during standard southern arrival patterns into CDG.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏰

Prague Old Town

Stunning aerial views of the Vltava River loops and the historic center immediately following takeoff from PRG.

🌲

Bohemian Forest

Dense green landscapes of the Šumava National Park as the aircraft crosses into German airspace.

🏔️

Distant Alps

On clear days, the jagged white peaks of the Austrian and Swiss Alps are visible on the far southern horizon.

🍷

Alsace Region

The transition over the Rhine River into the patchwork of vineyards and historic villages in eastern France.

🗼

Paris Landmarks

A prime vantage point for spotting the Eiffel Tower and the urban density of central Paris during the descent.

Book a seat in front of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the horizon. Early morning flights are ideal as the rising sun illuminates the landscapes to the south without creating harsh glare directly into the window.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
⛰️

Ore Mountains

The rugged ridge of the Krušné hory mountains marking the border between the Czech Republic and Saxony.

🏙️

Frankfurt Skyline

View of the Main River and the high-rise 'Mainhattan' financial district if the flight path tracks slightly north.

🍾

Champagne Plains

Expansive, flat agricultural landscapes and famous chalky soil vineyards near the city of Reims.

🛬

CDG Complex

An excellent view of the intricate terminal designs and massive runway infrastructure of Charles de Gaulle during landing.

The right side is excellent for observing the industrial geography of Germany and Northern France. During winter months, afternoon flights provide a beautiful 'golden hour' glow over the French plains as you approach Paris from the east.
