London to Prague flight path: LTN to PRG

Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from London to Prague. The right side offers the most memorable scenery on this short flight—London's outskirts and the Thames Estuary during climb-out, and a genuine glimpse of Prague's historic skyline during the final approach turn—while the left side mostly overlooks flat, unremarkable farmland across Belgium and Germany.

During takeoff from Luton (LTN), sit on the Right side for the best views. Departing LTN on runway 25 the aircraft turns east and typically routes south of the Chilterns toward the continent, giving right-side (southern) passengers a good look at the northern fringes of Greater London and the Thames Estuary as the plane climbs out over Essex and Kent. Notable sights include: Thames Estuary, Essex countryside, London's northern suburbs, Chiltern Hills to the north.

When landing at Ruzyne (PRG), sit on the Right side for the best views. On approach to PRG runway 24, the standard descent path curves in from the northeast over the Czech countryside, and the final turn onto final approach brings Prague's historic skyline—including the Vltava River and castle hill—into view on the right side of the aircraft just before touchdown. Notable sights include: Vltava River, Prague Castle hill, Old Town rooftops, rolling Bohemian farmland.

The flight from Luton (LTN) to Ruzyne (PRG) takes about 1 hour 50 minutes. The shortest flight path between them is 647 miles (1,041 km); winds and air traffic control usually add a few percent.

Flat agricultural plains of Belgium, the Netherlands, and central Germany, with the low rolling terrain of the Ore Mountains (Krušné hory) appearing near the Czech border as the aircraft begins its descent toward Prague.
