Madrid to Prague flight path: MAD to PRG

Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Madrid to Prague. The right side offers glimpses of the Pyrenees and Massif Central during the French overflight, plus a more textured final approach over Bohemian hills and river valleys, while the left side stays over comparatively flat farmland for most of the route.

During takeoff from Barajas (MAD), sit on the Right side for the best views. Climbing out of Barajas the aircraft crosses over the Sistema Central just north of Madrid, and as the track bends northeast toward France, the Pyrenees foothills rise into view on the right side of the cabin. The left side mostly shows the flatter Meseta and Ebro valley plains. Notable sights include: Sistema Central/Guadarrama range, Ebro river valley, distant Pyrenees foothills.

When landing at Ruzyne (PRG), sit on the Right side for the best views. On approach into Ruzyne under the typical runway 24 configuration, the aircraft descends from the northeast, giving right-side passengers a view over the rolling Bohemian countryside and the wooded hills near the Vltava river valley before touchdown. The left side mainly faces open farmland with fewer distinguishing features. Notable sights include: Vltava river valley, Bohemian forested hills, patchwork farmland near Kladno.

The flight from Barajas (MAD) to Ruzyne (PRG) takes about 2 hours 20 minutes. The shortest flight path between them is 1,087 miles (1,749 km); winds and air traffic control usually add a few percent.

Flight path crosses southern France near the Massif Central and skirts the western edge of the Alps before continuing over Bavaria and into the Bohemian Forest region of the Czech Republic.
