PRG → HEL
Which side of the plane to sit from Václav Havel Airport Prague (Prague) to Helsinki Vantaa Airport (Helsinki)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a dramatic coastal perspective of the Baltic States, culminating in a clear view of Tallinn and the vast Helsinki archipelago.
Curonian Spit
A remarkable 98km long thin sand-dune spit separating the Curonian Lagoon from the Baltic Sea.
Riga Coastline
Panoramic views of the Latvian capital and the sweeping curves of the Gulf of Riga under the wing.
Tallinn Old Town
Spot the medieval fortifications and church spires of Estonia's capital shortly before crossing the Gulf of Finland.
Helsinki Archipelago
Incredible views of thousands of small islands and rocky outcrops as you approach the Finnish coast for landing.
The right side is essential for geography buffs. During the second half of the flight, keep your camera ready for the Baltic coastline. In winter, look for intricate ice formations in the Gulf of Riga and Gulf of Finland.
Prague Panorama
Catch a final glimpse of the 'City of a Hundred Spires' and the Vltava River winding through the valley shortly after takeoff.
Lusatian Mountains
View the rolling hills and dense forests along the border of the Czech Republic and Germany as you head north.
Nuuksio National Park
Observe the signature Finnish landscape of dense woods and scattered lakes during the descent into Vantaa.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. It offers a peaceful view of the open Baltic Sea and the lush green periphery of Helsinki's metropolitan area during the final approach.
