ROV → PRG
Which side of the plane to sit from Platov International Airport (Rostov) to Václav Havel Airport Prague (Prague)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior panoramic view of the Carpathian Mountains and the rolling hills of Southern Moravia, while providing better lighting conditions during the typical westward flight path.
Sea of Azov
The northern reaches of the world's shallowest sea are visible shortly after departure from Rostov.
Dnieper River
Aerial views of the massive reservoirs and the wide blue ribbon of the Dnieper cutting through the steppe.
High Tatras
Dramatic, jagged peaks of the Carpathian range along the border of Poland and Slovakia.
Moravian Vineyards
The geometric green patchwork of the South Moravian wine region as you enter Czech airspace.
Spilberk Castle
A glimpse of the historic fortress overlooking the city of Brno during the descent phase.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct southern glare. On clear days, keep an eye on the far horizon as the flight approaches Czechia; the distant Austrian Alps may be visible to the south. This side is also excellent for viewing the sunrise if taking an early departure.
Rostov Cityscape
Detailed views of the Don River and the urban sprawl of Rostov-on-Don immediately after takeoff.
Ukrainian Plains
Vast stretches of fertile black soil farmlands creating a colorful agricultural mosaic.
Warsaw/Krakow Corridors
Distant views of major Polish urban centers depending on the specific northern or southern air corridor assigned.
Prague Spires
If landing on Runway 24, the right side provides a stunning view of the Vltava River and the historic Old Town.
The right side is ideal for capturing the 'City of a Hundred Spires' during the final approach into PRG. This side typically stays cooler during the afternoon as it faces away from the direct sun. For evening flights, you may catch a beautiful sunset over the Central European landscape.
