Which side of the plane to sit from Houari Boumediene Airport (Algier) to Sheremetyevo International Airport (Moscow)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers the most iconic views, starting with a panoramic departure over the Bay of Algiers and followed by the dramatic limestone peaks of the Dolomites and the winding Danube River.
Bay of Algiers
A stunning look at the 'White City' and its massive harbor immediately after takeoff.
Sardinian Coastline
Crystal clear turquoise waters and rocky inlets of the eastern Emerald Coast.
The Dolomites
Dramatic, jagged limestone formations of the Italian and Austrian Eastern Alps.
Danube River
The winding path of Europe's famous river as it cuts through the heart of the continent.
Moscow Skyline
The sprawling urban expanse and surrounding birch forests as you approach Sheremetyevo.
The right side is highly recommended for the initial climb out of Algiers. For the best experience, choose a seat ahead of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Alpine terrain. In winter, look for frozen lakes and rivers as you enter Russian airspace.
Western Mediterranean
Expansive views of the deep blue waters between the African coast and the Balearic islands.
Island of Corsica
The rugged western cliffs and mountainous backbone of the French Mediterranean island.
Swiss-Austrian Alps
Distances views of the high Western Alpine peaks, often covered in snow year-round.
Polish Lowlands
A patchwork of organized agricultural fields and dense forests across Central Europe.
Sit on the left for indirect lighting during morning flights, which reduces window glare for photography. This side is also better for spotting the lights of Prague or Warsaw if the flight departs Algiers in the late afternoon.
