Which side of the plane to sit from Václav Havel Airport Prague (Prague) to Boryspil International Airport (Kiev)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers a more dramatic view of the Carpathian foothills and the High Tatra mountains, followed by a scenic approach over the Dnieper River as you arrive in Kiev.
High Tatra Mountains
Stunning views of the jagged, snow-capped peaks along the Polish-Slovak border during the middle of the flight.
Lviv Cityscape
The historic UNESCO-listed center of Lviv is often visible as the flight path crosses Western Ukraine.
Ukrainian Steppe
Witness the endless patchwork of fertile black-earth farmland that gives Ukraine its 'breadbasket' reputation.
Dnieper River
A magnificent view of the winding river and the golden domes of the Pechersk Lavra on the approach to Boryspil.
The best views occur 30-45 minutes into the flight when passing the High Tatras. Choose this side for afternoon flights to benefit from the sun's position behind the aircraft, illuminating the landscape and the Dnieper's reflections.
Prague Panoramas
Capture the spires of the Old Town and the Vltava River loops immediately after takeoff from PRG.
Wrocław Distance View
On clear days, the urban sprawl of Lower Silesia is visible to the north as the flight crosses into Poland.
Kiev Reservoir
During the descent from the north, view the vast 'Kiev Sea' formed by the Dnieper River dam.
Northern Kiev Districts
Look out for the high-rise residential architecture and industrial zones of northern Kiev during final approach.
Opt for this side on morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare. It is particularly good for spotting the expansive water bodies north of the Ukrainian capital during the descent phase.
