Search flights from BUS to DME
Greater Caucasus Range
Dramatic, jagged snow-capped peaks that dominate the horizon within the first 20 minutes of flight.
Mount Elbrus
The highest peak in Europe, visible as a massive twin-coned dormant volcano rising above the clouds.
Stavropol Upland
Hilly terrain and plateau landscapes that mark the transition from the mountains to the plains.
Oka River
The winding blue artery of the Oka River snaking through the landscape during the final descent.
Moscow Forest Belt
Deep green coniferous and deciduous forests that surround the southern approach to DME airport.
The right side is the 'mountain side.' For the best view of Mount Elbrus, look out about 15-25 minutes after departure from Batumi. Morning flights are ideal as the sun illuminates the eastern slopes of the Caucasus, making the snow peaks sparkle.

Black Sea Coastline
Panoramic views of the Adjara coastline and the shrinking Batumi skyline during the initial ascent.
Sochi Olympic Park
Distant views of the coastal cluster stadiums and the Fisht Olympic Stadium near the Abkhazia-Russia border.
Kuban Steppes
A vast geometric patchwork of fertile agricultural fields stretching across the Krasnodar Krai.
Voronezh Outskirts
Urban clusters and industrial landscapes visible as the flight traverses the Central Russian Upland.
Moscow Approach
Aerial views of the southern suburban belts and logistics hubs surrounding the Domodedovo district.
Choose the left side for sunset views over the Black Sea during evening flights. It is also better for seeing the curvature of the coastline and the Sochi area as you fly north. Ensure your window is clean as morning sun can cause glare on this side.
