About This Route

Which side of the plane should I sit on flying from Munich (MUC) to Ruzyne (PRG)?

Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Munich to Prague. Right-side seats capture the Bavarian Alps during departure (the flight's most dramatic scenery) and offer reasonable views of the Bohemian Plateau during approach. Left seats excel only on landing, making right the better choice for the full journey.

The Danube is rarely directly visible from the typical MUC-PRG flight corridor, but the forested ridge of the Bohemian Forest marks the border clearly.
