PRG → TLV
Which side of the plane to sit from Václav Havel Airport Prague (Prague) to Ben Gurion International Airport (Tel-aviv)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side offers a superior sequence of diverse landscapes, from the fringes of the Alps and the stunning Adriatic coastline to the iconic Greek islands and the final descent along the Mediterranean coast into Tel Aviv.
The Eastern Alps
Depending on the specific airway, enjoy distant views of the snow-capped Austrian and Slovenian Alps.
Adriatic Coast
The stunning turquoise waters and white stone islands of the Croatian archipelago are often visible from high altitude.
Aegean Archipelago
Breathtaking views of the Dodecanese islands, specifically Rhodes, as you cross into the Levantine Basin.
Cyprus
Clear views of the southern coastline of Cyprus and the Troodos mountain range during the final hour of flight.
Tel Aviv Skyline
The quintessential view of the Mediterranean coastline, the Jaffa clock tower, and the modern beachfront skyscrapers on final approach.
The right side is unbeatable for the landing sequence. On approach to Ben Gurion, the aircraft typically circles from the sea, offering a panoramic view of the Tel Aviv metropolitan area. For evening flights, this side provides spectacular sunset views over the Mediterranean Sea. Use a polarising filter for photos to capture the deep blues of the Adriatic and Aegean.
Prague Cityscape
Glimpse the Vltava River and the historical core of Prague immediately after takeoff from Václav Havel Airport.
Carpathian Mountains
Distant views of the rugged peaks and dense forests of the High Tatras and the Romanian Carpathians.
The Danube
Aerial views of the winding Danube River as the flight path crosses over Central and Eastern Europe.
Taurus Mountains
Dramatic snowy peaks and limestone ridges as the aircraft traverses southern Turkey toward the Mediterranean.
Northern Israeli Coast
As the plane turns for its final approach, you may see the Haifa bay and Mount Carmel in the distance.
Choose the left side for morning flights to minimize glare and enjoy soft lighting over the Balkan landscapes. This side is also preferable if you want to avoid the harsh afternoon sun during the southbound journey. Keep your eyes peeled roughly halfway through the flight for the shimmering reflections of the Danube.
