Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Prague to Abu Dhabi. Left-side seats deliver the most dramatic visual payoff on landing—the Persian Gulf's turquoise waters and Abu Dhabi's coastal development are far more striking than the inland sabkha visible from the right. The takeoff view is comparable on both sides, but the landing advantage tips the overall choice to left.

During takeoff from Ruzyne (PRG), sit on the Right side for the best views. Prague typically departs runway 06 (northeast) or 24 (southwest). Right-side seats offer views of the Vltava River valley and the city's eastern sprawl during northeast departures, or the Bohemian Plateau's rolling terrain during southwest departures. Either way, right seats capture more of Prague's urban geography as you climb. Notable sights include: Vltava River winding through Prague's districts, Prague Castle and Old Town Square area (visible as dense urban core), Bohemian Plateau's forested ridges to the east and south.

When landing at Abu Dhabi International (AUH), sit on the Left side for the best views. Abu Dhabi typically lands runway 31L/31R (northeast approach) or 13L/13R (southwest approach). Left-side seats on northeast approaches offer views of the Persian Gulf's turquoise shallows, the Saadiyat Island development, and the city's coastal skyline. On southwest approaches, left seats see the inland sabkha (salt flats) and the city's western expansion. Notable sights include: Persian Gulf with distinctive turquoise shallow waters, Saadiyat Island and coastal development, Abu Dhabi's high-rise skyline and Corniche waterfront, inland sabkha (salt flats) appearing as pale tan expanses.

The flight from Ruzyne (PRG) to Abu Dhabi International (AUH) takes Approximately 5 hours 15 minutes.

The flight path crosses the Carpathian Mountains' southern foothills (visible around 45 minutes out), then the Danube River valley near the Hungary-Serbia border, the Balkans' ridge systems, and the Aegean Sea. Over Turkey, the Taurus Mountains appear as a significant north-south ridge. The flight then crosses the eastern Mediterranean, Syrian coast, and Iraqi/Iranian highlands before descending into the Persian Gulf region. The Zagros Mountains form a dramatic backdrop on the eastern horizon during the final approach into Abu Dhabi.
