Which side of the plane to sit from Václav Havel Airport Prague (Prague) to Malpensa International Airport (Milano)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side of the aircraft offers spectacular views of the Bohemian landscape upon departure, a breathtaking traverse across the Tyrolean Alps, and an iconic aerial perspective of Lake Como during the descent into Milan.
Prague Cityscape
Immediate views of the Vltava River and the historic red roofs of the Czech capital shortly after takeoff.
Tyrolean Alps
A stunning panorama of the jagged peaks and deep valleys of the Austrian and Italian Alps as you head south.
Lake Como
The distinct 'Y' shape of Lake Como is often visible on the left during the initial descent phase into Malpensa.
Milan Skyline
On a clear day, the rising skyscrapers of the Porta Nuova district and the Duomo di Milano appear to the southeast.
Book a window seat on the left (A) for the best views of Lake Como. Morning flights provide the best lighting for the Alps without the glare of the southern sun. In winter, the snow-capped peaks are particularly dazzling, so bring polarized sunglasses.
Bavarian Forest
Expansive views of the dense forests and rolling hills of southern Germany.
Lake Constance
Glimpses of the massive Bodensee bordering Germany, Austria, and Switzerland depending on the specific flight corridor.
Swiss Alps Peaks
Distant views of major Swiss massifs, including potential sightings of the Bernese Oberland peaks.
Lake Maggiore
As the plane turns for its final approach to MXP, Lake Maggiore and its islands often appear close to the aircraft.
The right side (F) is excellent for catching the sunset over the Western Alps on late afternoon flights. Keep your camera ready as you cross into Italy for the dramatic transition from high alpine peaks to the lush Lombardy lakes region.
