Search flights from AER to KRR
Western Caucasus Peaks
Dramatic views of the rugged, snow-capped mountains that define the region's landscape.
Caucasian Biosphere Reserve
Uninterrupted views of dense ancient forests and protected alpine meadows from high altitude.
Mount Fisht and Oshten
The iconic limestone massifs of the Lagonaki Highlands are often visible during the climb.
Krasnodar Reservoir
Commonly known as the 'Kuban Sea', this massive artificial lake is a primary landmark on the final approach.
Krasnodar Stadium
Depending on the landing pattern, you may spot the modern architectural marvel of the Krasnodar Stadium.
This is a very short flight (approx. 40 minutes), so keep your window shade up from the moment of takeoff. Morning flights provide the best illumination on the mountain peaks without the haze often found in the afternoon. Request a seat ahead of the wing for an unobstructed view of the Caucasus range.
