About This Route

Which side of the plane should I sit on flying from Ruzyne (PRG) to Seattle Tacoma International (SEA)?

Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Prague to Seattle. Left side wins at both ends of this flight. The Prague departure gives you the historic city center and Vltava River, and the SeaTac arrival gives you Puget Sound, the Seattle skyline, and the Olympic Mountains. The transatlantic and transcontinental cruise at 35,000 feet over Greenland, northern Canada, and the Rockies offers occasional views from either side but nothing that decisively favors the right.
