Our Recommendation
8.2

Left Side of the Plane

The Left Side is preferred for its northern-facing views which avoid the harsh glare of the sun, offering clear visibility of the snow-capped Caucasus Mountains and the vast, untouched wilderness of the Kazakh Steppe and Gobi Desert.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🌲

Carpathian Ridges

Verdant mountain ranges stretching across Eastern Europe shortly after leaving Prague.

🌊

Black Sea Horizon

The deep blue expanse of the northern Black Sea coastline as the flight heads toward Asia.

🏔️

The Great Caucasus

Dazzling views of Elbrus and other high-altitude glaciers along the Georgian border.

🇰🇿

Kazakh Steppe

A mesmerizing and nearly endless expanse of golden plains and unique salt pan formations.

🏜️

Alashan Desert

Striking contrasts of orange sand dunes and dark rocky outcrops in northern China.

This flight usually departs Prague in the late afternoon. By choosing the left side, you avoid the direct southern sun, allowing for better photography of the Caucasus and Central Asian landscapes. As you cross into China at night, look for the faint lights of remote outposts in the desert.

Right Side Highlights
7.9
⛰️

Balkan Highlands

Rugged limestone peaks and deep river valleys of Southeast Europe visible during the first hours.

🕌

Anatolian Plateau

The sun-drenched, high-altitude landscapes of Turkey featuring extinct volcanic cones.

💧

Caspian Sea

A crossing over the world's largest inland body of water with views of offshore oil platforms.

🏜️

Kyzylkum Dunes

Beautiful wind-sculpted sand patterns across the deserts of Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan.

🌉

Incheon Grand Bridge

A spectacular architectural view during the final descent into Seoul over the Yellow Sea.

The right side is the best choice for sunset enthusiasts, as the sun will set to the south-west during the first third of the flight. For the landing in Seoul, the right side often provides a superior view of the sprawling Incheon port and the massive bridge infrastructure.
