PRG → ORY
Which side of the plane to sit from Václav Havel Airport Prague (Prague) to Paris-Orly Airport (Paris)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side is typically superior for this route because it provides the iconic view of the Eiffel Tower and the Paris city center during the standard arrival sequence into Orly, alongside views of the Rhine River and the Ore Mountains.

Ore Mountains
Rugged terrain and mining heritage sites along the Czech-German border visible shortly after departure.
The Rhine River
A view of the silver ribbon of the Rhine as the flight crosses from Germany into France near the city of Karlsruhe.
Frankfurt Skyline
The 'Mainhattan' skyscrapers are often visible in the distance to the North as the plane transits German airspace.
Eiffel Tower & Paris Core
The most sought-after view; as the plane descends towards ORY, the entire Paris skyline and its iconic monuments appear.
Pilsen (Plzeň)
The birthplace of Pilsner beer, identifiable by its large brewery complex and the high spire of St. Bartholomew's Cathedral.
The right side is essential for seeing the Eiffel Tower. Most arrivals into Orly loop around the north or east of the city before turning south for the runway, placing the city center directly in view of right-side windows. Book a seat in front of the wing to ensure the engine doesn't block the urban landscape during the low-altitude approach.

Prague Castle
Immediate views of the Hradčany district and the Vltava River shortly after takeoff from Václav Havel Airport.
Bavarian Forest
Dense, dark green woodland and rolling hills along the border between the Czech Republic and Germany.
Distant Alps
On clear days, the snowy peaks of the Northern Limestone Alps are visible on the far southern horizon over Southern Germany.
Champagne Vineyards
Geometric patterns of the famous French vineyards stretching across the landscape near Reims and Épernay.
Fontainebleau Forest
A vast, ancient royal hunting forest located just south of the final approach path into Orly.
Sit on the left if you want the best lighting for photography on morning flights, as the sun will be behind you. Look out for the distant Alps roughly 45 minutes into the flight if the sky is clear of haze. For the arrival, the left side often looks over the southern suburbs of Paris like Evry.
