Brussels Center
The Atomium and European Quarter are often visible shortly after takeoff.
Baltic Coastline
Distant views of the northern German and Polish coastlines and the sea.
Minsk
A clear view of the Belarusian capital's unique Soviet-era urban planning.
Northern Forests
Vast, dense pine forests that define the landscape of Belarus and Western Russia.
Moscow Skyline
Distant views of the Moscow International Business Center and the Kremlin towers.
On early flights, the left side avoids direct sunlight, making it easier to spot the glint of the Baltic Sea and the structured layout of Minsk. In winter, the landscape becomes a stark, beautiful white expanse from Poland onwards.

Warsaw Skyline
Views of the Vistula River and the reconstructed historic center of the Polish capital.
Pripet Marshes
One of the largest wetland areas in Europe, straddling the southern Belarus border.
DME Approach

The right side is preferred for late afternoon departures to catch the sunset. It offers a better look at the rolling terrain of the Ardennes and the industrial heart of Poland. Use polarized sunglasses to reduce glare from the southern sun.
