Which side of the plane to sit from Domodedovo International Airport (Moscow) to Anapa Vityazevo Airport (Anapa)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side offers a superior perspective of the Black Sea coastline and the Vityazevo Spit during the final approach, which is the scenic highlight of this route.
Black Earth Region
Geometric patterns of the fertile agricultural heartland of Russia.
Oka River Meanders
Scenic curves of the Oka River shortly after departing the Moscow terminal area.
Sunflower Fields
During summer months, vast yellow carpets of sunflower crops dominate the landscape.
Vityazevo Spit
The iconic narrow sandy strip separating the Vityazevo Liman from the Black Sea.
Black Sea Approach
Turquoise coastal waters and the bustling resort beaches of Anapa during descent.
This side is essential for the scenic descent into Anapa. Afternoon flights provide the best lighting for photography of the Black Sea coast. Ensure you have your camera ready 15 minutes before landing for the Vityazevo shoreline.
Moscow Outskirts
Dense forests and sprawling suburban developments of the Moscow region immediately after takeoff.
Voronezh Urban Area
Aerial views of the industrial landscapes and the Voronezh Reservoir.
Rostov-on-Don
The expansive Southern capital and the beginning of the Don River Delta.
Sea of Azov
Distant views of the shallow, greenish-blue waters of the Taganrog Gulf.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. Look out for the Don River's intricate network near Rostov. During winter, look for the unique ice patterns on the reservoirs.
