PRG → RTM
Which side of the plane to sit from Václav Havel Airport Prague (Prague) to Rotterdam The Hague Airport (Rotterdam)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is the preferred choice for this flight because it offers the most iconic views of the Prague city center upon departure and a front-row seat to the massive Port of Rotterdam and the city's modern skyline during the standard approach.

Prague Historic Center
Aerial views of the Vltava River and the red-roofed districts of the Czech capital immediately after takeoff.
Franconian Forest
Dense, rolling green hills of the Frankenwald as the flight crosses into Central Germany.
Rhine-Meuse Delta
The complex network of waterways and canals defining the southern Dutch landscape near Dordrecht.
Port of Rotterdam
A spectacular view of one of the world's largest maritime hubs with endless container terminals.
Rotterdam Cityscape
The Erasmus Bridge and 'De Rotterdam' building are clearly visible when landing from the east.
To avoid harsh glare, choose the left side for late afternoon flights when the sun is to the south. During landing at RTM, keep your camera ready as the plane descends over the architectural landmarks of the city center. This side is also better for spotting the winding Rhine River near Bonn.

North Sea Horizon

The right side is excellent for observing the vast urban sprawl of the German Ruhrgebiet. It provides a more consistent view of the changing topography from the Czech mountains to the flat European Plain. In the winter, the Ore Mountains on this side are often capped with snow, providing a beautiful contrast.
