PRG → MAN
Which side of the plane to sit from Václav Havel Airport Prague (Prague) to Manchester Airport (Manchester)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is generally superior for this route as it offers views of the North German Plain, the Dutch coast including Amsterdam, and a spectacular descent over the Peak District National Park when approaching Manchester from the east.

Ore Mountains
The Erzgebirge range forms a natural border between the Czech Republic and Germany, visible shortly after departure.
Amsterdam & IJsselmeer
Stunning views of the Dutch polders, the distinctive shape of the IJsselmeer, and the canal-laden capital.
The Wash
The large square bay on the east coast of England, known for its unique tidal flats and salt marshes.
Peak District
Breathtaking views of the green plateaus and limestone valleys of the UK's first National Park during descent.
Manchester Urban Area
Clear views of the city's landmarks, including iconic football stadiums, depending on the specific landing pattern.
The right side is essential for the best views of the Peak District during the 'Dayne' arrival into Manchester. For morning flights, this side will be shaded, providing better conditions for photography. Keep an eye out for the Dutch coastline, which is particularly vibrant on clear spring days when the tulip fields are in bloom.

Bohemian Forest
Dense woodlands and rolling hills along the Czech-German border shortly after takeoff from Prague.
Rhine Valley
Glances of the winding Rhine River and the industrial heartland of Western Germany near Cologne.
Brussels Metropolitan Area
A sprawling view of the Belgian capital and its surrounding urban landscape during the mid-flight cruise.
English Channel
The narrow crossing between mainland Europe and the UK, often filled with cargo shipping lanes.
Midlands Skyline
As the plane turns north-west, you may catch glimpses of Birmingham and the industrial centers of middle England.
Sit on the left if you prefer afternoon sun and want to see the dense urban sprawl of the Benelux region. If the flight path dips slightly south, you might catch a distant view of the London skyline. Use a window seat behind the wing to avoid engine glare during sunset flights.
