Our Recommendation
8.2

Right Side of the Plane

The Right Side offers a superior view of the Antalya coastline upon departure, potential glimpses of the snow-capped Caucasus Mountains during the Black Sea transit, and a better angle for the Moscow skyline on approach.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
๐Ÿ–๏ธ

Antalya Gulf

Spectacular views of Lara beach and the turquoise waters of the Mediterranean immediately after takeoff.

๐Ÿ”๏ธ

Greater Caucasus

On clear days, the distant, majestic peaks of the Caucasus range are visible to the east while crossing the sea.

๐Ÿ’ง

Don River Basin

The winding silver ribbons of the Don and its tributaries carving through the southern Russian steppe.

๐Ÿ™๏ธ

Moscow Cityscape

As the plane aligns for Vnukovo, the right side often catches the skyscrapers of Moscow City in the distance.

Sit on the right for the best views of the 'Turquoise Coast' during the initial climb. If the flight path enters Russia via Sochi/Anapa, you will have the best vantage point for the coastline transition. Keep your camera ready during the final 15 minutes for Moscow's urban sprawl.

Left Side Highlights
7.4
โ›ฐ๏ธ

Taurus Mountains

Aerial views of the rugged BeydaฤŸlarฤฑ range as the plane climbs north from the Mediterranean coast.

๐ŸŒŠ

Western Black Sea

A vast expanse of deep blue water as the flight leaves Turkish airspace and heads toward Russia.

๐ŸŒ…

Sunset Horizons

On late afternoon flights, this side provides front-row seats to the sun setting over Eastern Europe.

๐Ÿšœ

Central Russian Upland

Patterns of vast agricultural fields and dense forests as the aircraft descends toward the Moscow region.

Choose the left side for evening flights to avoid direct sun glare while enjoying the sunset. This side is also better if the flight path takes a more westerly route over the Black Sea, offering distant views of the Crimean coastline.
