Our Recommendation
7.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior panoramic view of the Moscow skyline shortly after takeoff and provides an expansive perspective of the massive Rybinsk Reservoir during the descent.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🌆

Moscow City Skyline

A distant but clear view of the Moscow International Business Center skyscrapers shortly after departure from DME.

🛶

Khimki Reservoir

Visual of the water systems and suburban greenery north of the Moscow Ring Road.

〰️

Volga River Bend

The winding path of Russia's most famous river as the flight crosses near the Tver region.

🌊

Rybinsk Sea

The vast western expanse of the Rybinsk Reservoir, often referred to as a sea due to its immense size.

🌉

Sheksna River

The final approach over the river system that feeds into the reservoir near Cherepovets.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight glare. This side is particularly scenic during the winter when the Rybinsk Reservoir is frozen and covered in intricate ice patterns. Keep your camera ready about 10 minutes after takeoff for the Moscow panorama.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🌲

Losiny Ostrov

The dense forests of the National Park located on the northeastern edge of Moscow.

⛪

Golden Ring Vistas

Views over the historic Yaroslavl and Vladimir regions, occasionally spotting golden domes of distant cathedrals.

🏗️

Rybinsk Dam

The massive hydroelectric engineering works at the southern tip of the reservoir.

🏭

Severstal Steel Mill

A dramatic industrial landscape of one of the world's largest steel plants upon landing.

🏘️

Vologda Landscapes

Classic Russian northern countryside featuring small villages and dense taiga forests.

The right side is best for evening flights as the sunset reflects off the industrial structures of Cherepovets. The view of the Severstal plant is particularly striking at night due to the high-intensity industrial lighting and occasional thermal glow from the furnaces.
