PRG → OSR
Which side of the plane to sit from Václav Havel Airport Prague (Prague) to Ostrava Leos Janáček Airport (Ostrava)?
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.
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.
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.
