Our Recommendation
8.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior perspective of the dense urban hubs of Europe, the sprawling Moscow metropolitan area, and the scenic curves of the Volga River before hitting the Ural foothills.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🗼

Paris Departure

Aerial view of the city's unique circular layout and landmarks if taking off towards the east/southeast.

🏢

Frankfurt Skyline

Clear views of the 'Mainhattan' skyscrapers and one of Europe's busiest aviation hubs.

🏰

Moscow Metropolitan Area

The sprawling density of the Russian capital, including distant views of the Kremlin and the Seven Sisters.

🐍

The Great Volga Bend

Spectacular meandering loops of Europe's longest river near Samara and Ulyanovsk.

🏔️

Central Ural Ridge

Direct views of the geographic border between Europe and Asia, featuring dense forests and rocky outcrops.

The right side is ideal for daytime flights to see major European capitals. In winter, the snow-covered Ural mountains are particularly striking on this side. Use a polarizing filter to manage the southern sun glare if traveling during the afternoon.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🏙️

Northern German Plain

Vast agricultural patterns and modern wind farms visible across the flat terrain of Northern Germany.

🌊

Baltic Horizons

Distant views of the Baltic coastline near the Polish border depending on the specific flight corridor.

🚢

Nizhny Novgorod

A stunning view of the confluence of the Oka and Volga rivers, marking one of Russia's most historical trade hubs.

⛰️

Northern Urals

Rugged, ancient peaks visible to the north as the aircraft begins its descent into the Yekaterinburg region.

Choose the left side for soft, indirect lighting which is perfect for capturing the details of the Russian plains without solar glare. This side is particularly rewarding during the summer months when the 'White Nights' provide visibility even on late evening flights.
