Which side of the plane to sit from Václav Havel Airport Prague (Prague) to Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport (Nice)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers an unparalleled panorama of the highest peaks in the Alps, including Mont Blanc, and provides the iconic aerial view of the French Riviera and Nice city center during the final approach.
Lake Constance
The massive 'Bodensee' marking the borders of Germany, Switzerland, and Austria.
Bernese Alps
Spectacular views of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau peaks in the heart of Switzerland.
Mont Blanc
The highest summit in Western Europe, standing majestically above the surrounding French-Italian border.
Verdon Gorge
The 'Grand Canyon of Europe,' recognizable by its deep limestone cliffs and turquoise waters.
French Riviera
A stunning bird's-eye view of Cannes, Antibes, and the luxury villas of the Côte d'Azur.
Promenade des Anglais
The famous waterfront of Nice and the historic Old Town visible just seconds before touchdown.
This is the premier side for peak-bagging from your window; keep your camera ready about 45 minutes into the flight for the Swiss Alps. During the descent, the right side almost always provides the classic view of the Nice shoreline as the plane maneuvers for landing at NCE.
Šumava National Park
Dense, rolling evergreen forests along the Czech-German border shortly after takeoff.
Hohe Tauern
The rugged peaks of the Austrian Alps, featuring some of the region's largest glaciers.
Northern Italian Lakes
Shimmering views of the northern tips of Lake Como and Lake Maggiore nestled in alpine valleys.
Genoa & Ligurian Coast
The dramatic meeting of the Apennine Mountains and the Mediterranean Sea near the Italian port.
Ligurian Sea
Expansive views of the deep blue Mediterranean as the plane banks for its final approach into Nice.
The left side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the harsh southern sun glare. It offers excellent views of the Italian coastline and the transition from mountains to sea. If the flight path is easterly, you might even spot the silhouette of Corsica on the horizon.
