Which side of the plane to sit from Václav Havel Airport Prague (Prague) to Newcastle Airport (Newcastle)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the striking chain of East Frisian Islands along the German coast and a dramatic entry over the North Sea toward the Tynemouth coastline.
East Frisian Islands
A stunning bird's-eye view of the sandy barrier islands including Borkum and Juist lining the German North Sea coast.
Offshore Wind Farms
Massive geometric arrays of turbines rising from the North Sea, such as the Gemini or Borkum Riffgrund clusters.
North Sea Transit
Expansive views of the maritime shipping lanes and deep blue water before reaching the British Isles.
Tynemouth Priory
As the plane crosses the coast, the dramatic ruins of the Priory and the mouth of the River Tyne are clearly visible.
St James' Park
During the final descent, the massive white roof of Newcastle United's stadium stands out prominently in the city center.
The right side is ideal for evening flights to catch the sunset over the North Sea. Keep your camera ready about 45-60 minutes after departure from Prague to capture the Frisian Islands. Coastal visibility is best in late spring and summer when North Sea mist (haar) is less frequent.
Prague Outskirts
Aerial views of the Vltava River and the bohemian landscape as the aircraft climbs away from Václav Havel Airport.
Harz Mountains
To the south, the dark forested peaks of the Harz range, including the Brocken, are visible during the transit over central Germany.
Lower Saxony Plains
The intricate patchwork of German agricultural fields and wind turbines spanning the northern lowlands.
Dutch Borderlands
Views of the Ems estuary and the northern provinces of the Netherlands near Groningen.
Durham Cathedral
On a southerly approach into NCL, the historic UNESCO world heritage site is often visible nestled in the river loop.
Sit on the left for better views of the Pennine hills and the city of Durham if the plane approaches Newcastle from the south. Morning flights offer backlighting on the German landscape, while afternoon flights provide clear, direct sunlight.
