Moscow Suburbs
Aerial views of the southern outskirts of Moscow and the Domodedovo district immediately after takeoff.
Don River
The winding curves of the Don River as the flight traverses the Central Russian Upland.
Caucasus Range
Magnificent views of the snow-capped Greater Caucasus Mountains visible to the southeast during the descent.
Adjara Coastline
The lush green mountains of Georgia meeting the Black Sea as the plane aligns for its final approach.
Batumi Skyline
A close-up view of the Alphabet Tower, Chacha Tower, and modern skyscrapers along the Batumi Boulevard.
Sit on the left (Port) side for the most iconic views of the city upon arrival. If the flight is in the morning, the sun will be behind you, providing excellent lighting for photos of the Caucasus Mountains and the Batumi waterfront. Look out roughly 30 minutes before landing for the first glimpse of high-altitude peaks.

Russian Heartland
Extensive views of the mixed forests and agricultural patchwork of the Tula and Lipetsk regions.
Southern Steppe
The vast, geometric patterns of the fertile black earth agricultural zones in Southern Russia.
Black Sea Horizon
An unobstructed view of the deep blue Black Sea expanse during the final leg of the flight.
Batumi Port
Views of the industrial harbor and cargo ships anchored in the bay just before touchdown.
The right (Starboard) side is ideal for evening flights to witness the sunset over the Black Sea. While it lacks the mountain drama of the left side, it offers a peaceful, glare-free view of the horizon. Watch for the cargo ships waiting to enter the Port of Batumi during the low-altitude turn toward the runway.
