Which side of the plane to sit from Václav Havel Airport Prague (Prague) to Gran Canaria Airport (Gran Canaria)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers superior views of the High Alps shortly after departure and provides a better perspective of the Spanish interior and the approach into the Canary Islands.
The Swiss Alps
Breathtaking views of the snow-capped peaks of Switzerland and the Mont Blanc massif approximately 1 hour into the flight.
Madrid Metropolitan Area
A clear view of the Spanish capital's layout and the Cuatro Torres Business Area as you fly over central Spain.
Sierra Morena
Dramatic rugged terrain of the southern Spanish mountain ranges before reaching the Atlantic coast.
Strait of Gibraltar
Distant views of the meeting point between the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean to the southeast.
Gran Canaria East Coast
Excellent views of the island's coastline, including Las Palmas and the volcanic craters, during the final descent.
Sit on the left for the best sunrise views on morning flights and for the iconic 'wing over the Alps' photo opportunity. During the descent into LPA, the left side usually faces the island interior and the capital city, providing a comprehensive overview of the destination.
Jura Mountains
The forested ridges of the Jura range on the border between Switzerland and France.
Bordeaux Region
Distant views of the famous French wine region and the Garonne river winding toward the Atlantic.
Gulf of Cadiz
The beautiful blue waters where the Spanish coast curves towards Portugal before the long ocean crossing.
Mount Teide
On clear days, the massive peak of Tenerife's volcano is visible across the water as you approach the archipelago.
The right side is ideal for avoiding direct afternoon sun on flights heading southwest. It offers a peaceful ocean crossing and the best chance to spot the neighboring islands of Lanzarote and Fuerteventura from a distance as you near the Canaries.
