Prague City Center
Aerial view of the Vltava River, Charles Bridge, and the historic Old Town shortly after takeoff from PRG.
Gdańsk Bay
Distant views of the Polish Baltic coast and the strategic port city of Gdańsk as the flight heads north-east.
Jurmala Coastline
The white quartz sand beaches and pine forests of the Baltic's premier resort town during the final approach.
Gulf of Riga
Expansive views of the shallow waters of the Baltic Sea as the aircraft banks for its final alignment with the runway.
Sit on the left for sunset views over the Baltic Sea during late afternoon flights. On clear days, the transition from the Polish lowlands to the Latvian coast is visually striking. Request a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze obscuring the Jurmala shoreline.

Krkonoše Mountains
The 'Giant Mountains' on the Czech-Polish border are visible shortly after departure, especially prominent in winter with snow caps.
Masurian Lake District
A mosaic of over 2,000 lakes in northeastern Poland, providing a glittering landscape during mid-flight.
Kaunas, Lithuania
Clear views of Lithuania's second-largest city and the confluence of the Nemunas and Neris rivers.
Riga TV Tower
As you descend, look for the tallest free-standing structure in the EU located on Zaķusala Island in the Daugava River.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. It provides a better perspective of Riga's urban layout and the Daugava River bridges if the aircraft approaches from the south. Keep an eye out for the dense green forest canopy of the Aukštaitija National Park in Lithuania.
