DME → DNK
Which side of the plane to sit from Domodedovo International Airport (Moscow) to Dnipropetrovsk International Airport (Dnepropetrovsk)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the massive Kursk open-pit mines and a more dramatic approach over the winding Dnipro River as the flight descends into Dnipropetrovsk.
Oka River Bends
Dramatic views of the winding Oka River shortly after takeoff from DME, especially scenic during sunrise or sunset.
Kursk Magnetic Anomaly
A truly unique sight featuring the massive, terraced open-pit iron ore mines near Zheleznogorsk, appearing like giant craters.
Vorskla River Valley
Lush green corridors and traditional village settlements following the path of the Vorskla River near the border.
Dnipro River Approach
A spectacular view of the wide Dnipro River and its major bridges as the aircraft aligns for its final approach into DNK.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to enjoy the sunset over the Ukrainian plains. Keep your camera ready about mid-flight for the Kursk mines, as they are a rare geological and industrial landmark easily seen from high altitudes.
Tula Suburban Mosaic
Visible shortly after departure, the industrial and residential patterns of Tula provide a classic Russian urban-rural contrast.
Central Black Earth Region
Expansive, highly fertile agricultural lands creating a vast geometric patchwork of gold and green fields.
Kharkiv Distant Skyline
On the descent, the sprawling urban layout of Ukraine's second-largest city is visible to the east.
Donbas Industrial Fringe
Distant views of the heavy industry and mining infrastructure marking the edge of the Donets Basin.
Sit on the left if you are flying during the morning to avoid direct sun glare. Watch for the change in field sizes as you cross the border into Ukraine, where the landscape transitions into the vast steppes.
