Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the Anatolian plateau's unique geography, including the massive Tuz Gölü salt lake, and the winding Don River as you enter Russian airspace.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🧂

Tuz Gölü

One of the largest hypersaline lakes in the world, appearing as a massive white or pinkish shimmering expanse.

⛰️

Anatolian Plateau

High-altitude steppe landscapes with fascinating volcanic soil colors and deep seasonal river valleys.

⚓

Sea of Azov

The world's shallowest sea, often displaying unique green and turquoise hues near the sandy spits of the coastline.

🚜

Russian Breadbasket

A vast patchwork of agricultural fields around Rostov-on-Don, creating a giant geometric quilt on the landscape.

🏙️

Moscow Approach

Depending on the wind and runway in use at DME, the right side often catches the distant skyline of Moscow City's skyscrapers.

The right side is best for morning departures to have the sun behind the aircraft. Pay close attention about 30-40 minutes into the flight for the Tuz Gölü salt lake. For the best landing views, watch the transition from rural farmland to the dense suburban sprawl of the Moscow oblast.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🏖️

Turquoise Coast

Immediate views of the stunning Dalaman and Muğla coastline with crystalline waters and hidden coves.

🏔️

Taurus Mountains

The rugged, snow-capped peaks of the Western Taurus range provide a dramatic backdrop during the initial climb.

🌊

Black Sea Horizon

A vast, deep-blue expanse as the flight transitions from the Turkish coast toward the northern reaches.

🌲

Central Russian Upland

Dense clusters of deciduous and coniferous forests as the plane descends toward the Moscow region.

Choose the left side for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. Keep your camera ready during the first 10 minutes for spectacular views of the Turkish Riviera. During winter, look for the stark contrast of snow-covered forests in the Russian interior.
