Belgrade Center
Aerial view of the Kalemegdan Fortress and the confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers.
Balkan Mountains
The rugged peaks of the Stara Planina range during the transit over Bulgaria.
Varna Coastline
The scenic transition from the Bulgarian mainland into the deep blue of the Black Sea.
Russian Plains
The massive, colorful patchwork of agricultural fields in the fertile Kuban region.
Moscow Outskirts
Views of the Khimki district and northern Moscow suburbs during final approach.
For the best experience, book an early morning flight to see the sunrise reflecting off the Danube. The left side is essential for seeing the Belgrade city core during a standard western-to-eastern departure. As the flight currently detours around Ukraine, keep your camera ready as you approach the Bulgarian coast before the long sea crossing.

Avala Tower
The iconic TV tower and forested hills south of Belgrade during the initial climb.
Black Sea Horizon
Vast, uninterrupted views of the sea's horizon during the long detour through international waters.
Don River Bends
The winding, silver curves of the Don River as the flight turns north through Russian airspace.
Moscow City Skyline
Distant views of the Federation Tower and the Moscow International Business Center skyscrapers.
Russian Taiga
Dense clusters of birch and pine forests that characterize the Moscow Oblast landscape.
The right side is ideal for evening flights, as it often captures the city lights of Moscow if the aircraft performs a southern approach pattern. During the long stretch over the Black Sea, the right side provides a more 'open ocean' feel. Look for the massive industrial developments around Rostov-on-Don once the flight makes its northward turn.
