Our Recommendation
7.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers the most iconic geographical views, specifically the dramatic Samara Bend of the Volga River and the southern vistas of the South Ural Mountains.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🏔️

South Ural Mountains

Dense evergreen forests and ancient rocky ridges of the Ilmen Nature Reserve visible shortly after takeoff.

🌊

Samara Bend

The spectacular U-turn of the Volga River around the Zhiguli Mountains, a major geographic landmark.

🌾

Russian Steppes

Intricate patterns of massive agricultural fields and smaller river systems across Western Russia.

🏞️

Vistula River Valley

The wide river valley cutting through the heart of the fertile Polish plains near the Belarus border.

⛰️

Central Bohemian Highlands

Verdant rolling hills and traditional red-roofed villages visible during the final descent into Prague.

Watch for the Samara Bend approximately 80 minutes into the flight. For photography, afternoon flights may face harsh glare on this side due to the southern sun; consider the right side for better indirect lighting in the second half of the journey.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🚢

Kuibyshev Reservoir

One of the largest man-made reservoirs in the world, known locally as the Zhiguli Sea on the Volga.

🏙️

Tolyatti Skyline

The industrial landscape and harbor of Russia's automotive hub on the northern bank of the Volga.

🏙️

Warsaw Cityscape

Distant views of the Polish capital's skyscrapers and the Vistula River bridges as you transit central Poland.

🏔️

Krkonoše Mountains

The jagged peaks of the Giant Mountains forming the natural border between Poland and Czechia.

🏰

Prague Castle

The historic Hradčany district and the Vltava River are often visible during the final approach if landing from the east.

This side is ideal for capturing the Warsaw skyline and the Krkonoše range. It also provides better lighting conditions for photos on westward-bound afternoon flights as the sun will be positioned on the opposite side.
