Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Paris to Prague. While takeoff favors the right for Paris views, the landing approach on runway 06 strongly favors the left for Prague's most iconic features—the Vltava River and Prague Castle dominate the left-side view during descent. Since landing views are typically more memorable and detailed, left is the better overall choice.

During takeoff from Le Bourget (LBG), sit on the Right side for the best views. Le Bourget typically departs runway 26 (westbound) or 08 (eastbound). For a Prague flight, eastbound departure on runway 08 is standard. Right-side seats capture the Seine's northern loops around Paris, the Montmartre plateau, and the gradual transition from urban sprawl to the Île-de-France agricultural belt as you climb northeast. Notable sights include: Seine River (northern Paris meanders), Montmartre district (elevated terrain north of central Paris), Île-de-France farmland (patchwork fields), Charles de Gaulle Airport complex (visible to the east during climb).

When landing at Ruzyne (PRG), sit on the Left side for the best views. Prague typically uses runway 06 (northeast approach) or 24 (southwest approach). For a flight from Paris, runway 06 approach is standard, meaning descent from the southwest. Left-side seats provide excellent views of the Vltava River's dramatic meanders through Prague, Prague Castle on the elevated left bank, and the city's historic center as you descend into the final approach corridor. Notable sights include: Vltava River (serpentine curves through Prague), Prague Castle and St. Vitus Cathedral (hilltop on left bank), Old Town Square district (dense medieval street grid), Bohemian plateau terrain (rolling forested hills surrounding the city).

The flight from Le Bourget (LBG) to Ruzyne (PRG) takes Approximately 2 hours 15 minutes.

The flight path crosses the Île-de-France agricultural region, then enters the Champagne-Ardenne plateau around Reims (visible as a city cluster if flying at lower cruise altitude). Further east, the Ardennes forest appears as a darker green band. The flight then crosses into Germany near the Moselle River valley, continues over the Erzgebirge (Ore Mountains) on the German-Czech border, and descends into the Bohemian plateau. The Vltava River valley becomes visible approximately 30 minutes before landing.
