Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for the dense, mystical landscapes of the Black Forest and the rugged limestone plateaus of the Swabian Jura. On exceptionally clear days, passengers may even spot the distant white peaks of the Alps to the far south.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌲

The Black Forest

Deep evergreen canopies and rolling peaks of the Schwarzwald dominate the view immediately after crossing the Rhine.

🏰

Swabian Jura

Watch for the dramatic escarpment of the Albtrauf and historic fortresses like Hohenzollern Castle perched on hilltops.

💧

The Danube River

Spot the upper reaches of Europe's second-longest river winding its way through the Bavarian landscape.

⛰️

Šumava National Park

Cross the 'Green Roof of Europe' where the Bavarian Forest meets the Bohemian Forest at the Czech border.

🇨🇿

Vltava River Valley

As the plane descends into PRG, follow the serpentine path of the Vltava river leading toward the heart of Prague.

Choose the right side for morning flights to have the landscapes beautifully illuminated by the sun. Keep your eyes peeled for the distinct white cliffs of the Swabian Jura and try to spot the Alps on the horizon during clear weather.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
⛪

Strasbourg Cathedral

Catch a glimpse of the massive pink sandstone spire of the Cathédrale Notre-Dame shortly after departure from SXB.

🏙️

Stuttgart Urban Area

View the sprawling industrial and automotive heart of Germany as the plane passes north of the city.

⛰️

Franconian Switzerland

Observe the unique rock formations and deep valleys of this scenic upland area in northern Bavaria.

🏘️

Nuremberg Cityscape

If the flight path trends slightly north, the historic center and imperial castle of Nuremberg may be visible.

The left side is preferable for afternoon or evening flights to avoid the harsh glare of the southern sun. It provides a better perspective of the urban centers of southern Germany and the rolling hills of the Upper Palatinate.
