Which side of the plane to sit from Václav Havel Airport Prague (Prague) to Cluj-Napoca International Airport (Cluj-napoca)?
Left Side of the Plane
The Left Side is superior for this route as it offers breathtaking views of the High Tatras mountain range in Slovakia and the rugged northern Carpathian peaks entering Romania.
Prague Historic Center
Aerial view of the Old Town and Prague Castle shortly after takeoff from Václav Havel Airport.
High Tatras
The highest range in the Carpathian Mountains, featuring jagged granite peaks along the Slovak-Polish border.
Slovak Paradise
Dense forest canopies and deep ravines of the Slovenský raj National Park visible mid-flight.
Tokaj Foothills
The northern reaches of the famous wine region where the mountains meet the Hungarian plains.
Maramureș Mountains
The wild, forested ridges of northern Romania as the plane begins its descent toward Cluj-Napoca.
Sit on the left for the most dramatic mountain scenery. For morning flights, the sun will be behind you, providing excellent lighting for photos of the Tatras. During winter, the snow-covered Slovak peaks are exceptionally vivid. Request a seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat blur.
Vltava River
The winding course of the Vltava as it flows south of the Czech capital.
Danube River Bend
The majestic silver ribbon of the Danube visible near the border of Slovakia and Hungary.
Budapest Horizon
On clear days, the distant sprawl of the Hungarian capital can be seen to the south.
Great Hungarian Plain
A vast, geometric patchwork of agricultural fields stretching toward the horizon.
Apuseni Mountains
The western sunset-facing slopes of the Romanian Carpathians during the final approach.
The right side is ideal for capturing the vastness of the Pannonian Basin. If flying in the late afternoon, be prepared for significant glare as the sun will be on this side of the aircraft. Keep an eye out for the reflective glint of the Danube which serves as a major navigational landmark.
