Which side of the plane to sit from Václav Havel Airport Prague (Prague) to Geneva Cointrin International Airport (Geneva)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a stunning panoramic progression of the Alpine range, including the snow-capped peaks of the Bernese Oberland and a prime view of the Mont Blanc massif during the descent.
Prague Historic Center
Bird's-eye view of the Vltava river and the red rooftops of the Old Town shortly after takeoff.
Šumava National Park
The dense forests of the Bohemian Forest bordering the Czech Republic and Germany.
Bernese Alps
The iconic trio of Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau visible in the distance across the Swiss plateau.
Mont Blanc
Western Europe's highest peak dominates the horizon as the aircraft maneuvers for approach.
Lac Léman South Shore
Beautiful views of the French side of Lake Geneva, including the town of Évian-les-Bains.
Book a window seat on the left for morning flights to have the sun behind you, illuminating the Alps perfectly. About 15-20 minutes before landing, look south to spot the glaciated peaks of the High Alps. During winter, the snow-covered landscapes of the Czech-Bavarian border are particularly striking.
Lake Constance
The vast Bodensee where Germany, Switzerland, and Austria meet, visible mid-flight.
The Jura Mountains
The long, folded limestone ridges that define the border between Switzerland and France.
Jet d'Eau
Geneva's famous water fountain is often visible in the harbor during the final descent.
Geneva Cityscape
A clear view of the city's international district and the Palais des Nations upon landing.
The right side is excellent for seeing the Jura mountain range's unique topography. If the plane approaches Geneva from the north (Runway 22), you will get a superior view of the lake's expanse and the city center. In the afternoon, this side may experience more direct sunlight glare.
