Volga River
Catch glimpses of the historic Volga river as it winds through the Tver and Yaroslavl regions south of Cherepovets.
Moscow City Skyline
The massive cluster of glass skyscrapers in the Moscow International Business Center is often visible during the descent phase.
Ostankino Tower
Europe's tallest free-standing structure can be spotted to the west of the flight path on clear days.
Luzhniki Area
The grand Olympic stadium and the distinct bend of the Moskva River near Sparrow Hills are visible from high altitude.
DME Forest Belt
The lush, dense pine forests surrounding Domodedovo airport provide a scenic green backdrop just before touchdown.
The right side is ideal for evening flights to witness the expansive light carpet of the Moscow metropolitan area. As aircraft often approach DME from the north, the city center usually appears on the right. Keep your camera ready as the plane enters the Moscow Air Hub's descent patterns for the best urban photography.

Rybinsk Reservoir
Known as the Rybinsk Sea, this massive artificial lake is a dominant feature shortly after takeoff.
Sergiyev Posad
Look for the golden domes of the Trinity Lavra of St. Sergius, a major spiritual center of the Golden Ring.
Losiny Ostrov
The 'Elk Island' National Park, a vast green expanse on the northeastern edge of the Moscow megalopolis.
Eastern Moscow Suburbs
Densely populated residential districts of Balashikha and Lyubertsy visible during the final descent.
Sit on the left for the best views of the Rybinsk Reservoir's vastness early in the flight. During morning departures, this side will experience direct sunlight, so sunglasses are recommended. On clear days, the white stone architecture of historic towns north of Moscow is more prominent here.
