PRG → KUF
Which side of the plane to sit from Václav Havel Airport Prague (Prague) to Kurumoch International Airport (Samara)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is preferred for its dramatic arrival sequence over the Samara Bend and the Zhiguli Mountains, along with distant views of the High Tatras during the initial cruise phase.
Search flights from PRG to KUF
High Tatra Mountains
Distant but sharp views of the jagged, snow-capped peaks marking the border between Poland and Slovakia.
Russian Steppe
The transition into the expansive, fertile agricultural plains of South-Western Russia.
Samara Bend (Zhiguli)
The dramatic 180-degree loop of the Volga River around the scenic Zhiguli Mountains during the descent.
Kuybyshev Reservoir
The massive expanse of water known as the Zhiguli Sea, which is one of the largest reservoirs in the world.
Tolyatti Industrial Hub
A clear view of the massive automotive industrial complex and the Tolyatti cityscape just before landing.
The right side is the clear winner for the approach into Samara. To see the Samara Bend clearly, try to book an afternoon flight when the sun illuminates the river loops. Keep your camera ready as soon as the descent begins, as the scale of the Volga River and the Zhiguli Mountains is best appreciated from this side.

Prague Cityscape
Bird's-eye view of the Vltava River and the historical spires of Prague shortly after takeoff.
Warsaw Skyline
Potential views of the Polish capital's modern skyscrapers and the Vistula River while traversing Central Poland.
Białowieża Forest
Aerial perspective of one of the last and largest remaining parts of the immense primeval forest that once stretched across the European Plain.
Upper Volga Reservoirs
Views of the northern sections of the Volga river system as the flight enters Russian airspace.
The left side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare. It provides a consistent view of the vast northern plains and the transition from European forests to the Russian heartland. Watch for the intricate patterns of the Masurian Lake District if the flight path takes a more northerly corridor over Poland.
