Our Recommendation
8.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides a superior view of the historic Prague city center shortly after takeoff and offers a clearer perspective of the Jeseníky mountain range and the historic city of Olomouc during the cruise phase.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🏰

Prague City Center

Bird's-eye view of the Vltava River, Prague Castle, and the historic Old Town during initial ascent.

🌾

Elbe Lowlands

The fertile plains of the Polabí region with its patchworked agricultural fields and the winding Elbe River.

⛰️

Jeseníky Mountains

A distant but clear view of the highest peaks in Moravia, including the distinctive Praděd transmitter tower.

⛪

Olomouc

The historic Moravian city featuring its UNESCO-listed Holy Trinity Column and red-roofed center.

🏗️

Upper Silesian Basin

The transition into the industrial landscape of the Ostrava region as the plane prepares for final approach.

Sit on the left for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. This side is particularly spectacular in autumn when the deciduous forests of the Bohemian-Moravian Highlands change color. Keep your camera ready immediately after takeoff from PRG for the best shots of the capital's spires.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
🌲

Bohemian-Moravian Highlands

Dense evergreen forests and rolling hills of the Vysočina region stretching toward the southern border.

🏙️

Brno Panorama

Distant views of the Spilberk Castle and Petrov Cathedral spires marking the Moravian capital.

🌳

Moravian Karst

Deeply forested areas hiding the famous cave systems and the Macocha Abyss south of the flight path.

💧

Nové Mlýny Reservoirs

Distant glints of the large water bodies near the Austrian border on exceptionally clear days.

🏔️

Beskydy Mountains

The majestic Lysá hora peak and the Carpathian ridges dominate the horizon during the descent into Ostrava.

The right side is ideal for late afternoon or evening flights to catch the sunset over the rolling Czech landscape. During the final descent into OSR, look for the industrial heritage sites of Lower Vítkovice, which are more prominent from this side depending on the landing direction.
