Which side of the plane to sit from Václav Havel Airport Prague (Prague) to Henri Coandă International Airport (Bucharest)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a superior vantage point for the dramatic Southern Carpathians and the winding Danube river.
Prague Skyline
A final glimpse of the Vltava River and the City of a Hundred Spires during ascent.
The Danube
Aerial views of the massive river as it curves through the Hungarian and Serbian borders.
Southern Carpathians
Home to the highest peaks in Romania, including the rugged Făgăraș massif.
Bucharest Approach
Sprawling urban views including the Palace of the Parliament during the descent into OTP.
The right side is the prime choice for afternoon flights, offering spectacular 'Golden Hour' views over the Transylvanian Alps. Pay close attention during the last 20 minutes of flight for the dramatic transition from high mountain peaks to the Wallachian Plain.
High Tatras
Jagged granite peaks marking the border between Slovakia and Poland.
Eastern Carpathians
Deep green vistas of Romania's vast, untouched forest reserves.
Transylvanian Plateau
A mosaic of medieval villages and rolling hills in central Romania.
Ideal for early morning departures to avoid direct sun glare. Look out for the High Tatras about 25-30 minutes into the flight; they are most striking when snow-capped between November and May.
