Central Russian Uplands
Expansive views of the patchwork fields and deep forests of the Tula and Oryol regions during the first hour of flight.
Balkan Mountain Range
As you cross into Bulgaria, the Stara Planina (Balkans) provides a rugged, mountainous horizon that contrasts sharply with the plains.
Atanasovsko Lake
Watch for the stunning pink and silver hues of the salt evaporation ponds located just north of the Burgas city limits.
Burgas Urban Panorama
An excellent view of the city's Sea Garden, urban layout, and the massive Lake Vaya just before touchdown at BOJ.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights as the sun will be on the opposite side, reducing window glare. Keep your camera ready for the final 5 minutes of the flight; the color contrast of the pink salt lakes is a unique photographic opportunity specific to this route.

Oka River Bends
Shortly after takeoff from DME, view the winding loops of the Oka River cutting through the Moscow region's lush greenery.
Bulgarian Riviera
During descent, the coastline of the Black Sea becomes visible, featuring the famous long sandy stretches of Golden Sands.
Sunny Beach & Nessebar
A breathtaking view of the densely packed Sunny Beach resort and the ancient, narrow peninsula of Nessebar jutting into the sea.
Burgas Gulf
The final approach provides a wide-angle view of the deep blue gulf and the busy commercial shipping vessels in the port.
Choose the left side for morning flights if you want to see the sunrise over the Black Sea. It is particularly good for spotting the distinct architectural shape of the Old Town of Nessebar as you approach Burgas from the north.
