PRG → LHR
Which side of the plane to sit from Václav Havel Airport Prague (Prague) to London Heathrow Airport (London)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer views of Central Europe, the right side is highly recommended for the iconic approach into London, often providing a panoramic view of the city's famous skyline and the Thames River during the final descent into Heathrow.

German Heartland
Views of the industrial and cultural landscapes of the Rhineland, including the winding Rhine River.
Rotterdam and North Sea
On clear days, the massive port of Rotterdam and the busy shipping lanes of the North Sea are visible to the north.
Central London Skyline
The ultimate highlight: The Shard, London Eye, and Tower Bridge are usually visible during the descent into LHR.
Wembley Stadium
The distinctive arch of England's national stadium can often be spotted if the plane enters the northern holding stack.
Windsor Castle
If the wind is coming from the west, you will get a direct view of the world's oldest occupied castle just before landing.
For the best experience, choose a seat behind the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of London. On the standard approach to Heathrow (landing to the west), the right side offers the most dramatic views of the city center landmarks. During evening flights, the illuminated London skyline is a spectacular sight. Be aware that the landing direction can change based on wind, but right-side seats are the safest bet for sightseeing.

White Cliffs of Dover
Depending on the flight path, you may spot the iconic chalk cliffs of the English coast to the south.
Richmond Park

The left side is preferable if you want to avoid direct sunlight during a morning flight. It offers excellent views of the southern English coastline if the flight path takes a more southerly route across the channel. Keep an eye out for the Belgian landscape, which transitions from industrial hubs to lush greenery.
