The left side scores higher due to superior takeoff scenery from Prague—the city's river meanders and Bohemian Plateau provide more consistent visual interest than the right side's landing approach. While the right side's Caucasus and Ararat views during descent are dramatic, they occupy only the final 30-40 minutes of a 4h 50m flight. The left side's Prague departure and 4+ hours of Central European terrain (Bohemian Plateau, Carpathian foothills, Danube valley) offer greater overall variety and landmark density across the full flight duration.
