PRG → ROV
Which side of the plane to sit from Václav Havel Airport Prague (Prague) to Platov International Airport (Rostov)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic peaks of the High Tatras and the sweeping arc of the Carpathian Mountains, combined with a potential glimpse of the Sea of Azov on the approach.
Prague Cityscape
An immediate view of the 'City of a Hundred Spires' and the Vltava River loops if departing to the east.
High Tatras
The highest range in the Carpathian Mountains, featuring jagged granite peaks and alpine lakes along the Polish-Slovak border.
Eastern Carpathians
Dense, undulating forest canopies and deep valleys as the route crosses into Western Ukraine.
Dnieper River Bends
Dramatic views of the wide Dnieper River as it winds south toward the Black Sea.
Taganrog Bay
The shallow, shimmering waters of the northeastern Sea of Azov visible just before aligning with ROV's runway.
This is the 'scenic side' for mountain lovers. For the best lighting on the Tatras and Carpathians, choose an afternoon flight when the sun illuminates the southern slopes. Keep your window shade down during the mid-flight cruise to avoid glare, but open it 30 minutes after takeoff and 40 minutes before landing for the best landmarks.
Bohemian Paradise
Shortly after takeoff from PRG, view the unique sandstone rock formations and medieval castles of northern Bohemia.
Silesian Lowlands
Expansive agricultural patterns and industrial landscapes of southern Poland stretching toward the horizon.
Kyiv Reservoir
The massive 'Kyiv Sea' on the Dnieper River, visible as a vast blue expanse to the north of the flight path.
Don River Basin
The meandering Don River carving through the fertile black-soil steppes of southern Russia during descent.
Sit here for morning flights to avoid the harsh southern sun. This side is ideal for spotting the vast reservoir systems of Ukraine and the industrial layout of the Donbass region. In winter, the northern horizon offers a beautiful 'blue hour' transition during late afternoon flights.
