Which side of the plane to sit from Zürich Airport (Zurich) to Václav Havel Airport Prague (Prague)?

The Alpine Chain
A continuous, majestic view of the high Alps to the south, stretching from Switzerland into Austria.
Lake Constance South Shore
Views of the Rhine Delta and the Austrian city of Bregenz nestled against the water.
Munich & Allianz Arena
On clear days, the Bavarian capital and its iconic white 'doughnut' stadium are visible to the south.
Danube River
Watching the winding blue ribbon of the Danube as the flight crosses near Regensburg or Straubing.
Šumava National Park
Aerial views of the rolling mountains and glacial lakes along the German-Czech border.
The right side is the clear winner for landscape photography. Choose a seat behind the wing to capture the Alpine horizon without engine obstruction. Afternoon flights are particularly scenic as the sun illuminates the mountains from the west, creating deep shadows and highlights on the peaks.

Zurich City & Lake
Immediate views of the Limmat River and the northern tip of Lake Zurich during the initial climb.
Lake Constance North Shore
Look down at the German shoreline, including the Zeppelin city of Friedrichshafen.
Ulm Minster
Spot the world's tallest church spire if the flight path tracks slightly north through Bavaria.
The Bohemian Forest
Crossing into the Czech Republic over the dense, ancient woodlands of the Šumava region.
Prague City Skyline
On the final descent into PRG, the left side often catches glimpses of the Vltava River and the city's historic spires.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct southern sun glare. This side is superior for spotting specific German urban landmarks and provides a more direct view of the Prague suburbs during the standard landing patterns on Runway 24.
