Which side of the plane to sit from Domodedovo International Airport (Moscow) to Belgorod International Airport (Belgorod)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is preferred for its superior perspective of the scenic Oka River meanders shortly after departure and more direct views of the historic regional centers of Oryol and Kursk during the journey south.
Oka River Meanders
Spectacular views of the winding Oka river loops and the lush floodplains near Serpukhov.
Oryol Cityscape
Clear views of the city located at the confluence of the Oka and Orlik rivers, showcasing its historic layout.
Black Earth Belt
Expansive views of the fertile Central Black Earth Region, famous for its vast and colorful agricultural patterns.
Belgorod Approach
Low-altitude views of the northern Belgorod suburbs and the surrounding chalk hills during the final descent.
The right side is ideal for evening flights to catch the sunset over the Russian plains. Have your camera ready within the first 15 minutes to capture the dramatic bends of the Oka river which are the highlight of this route.
Moscow Southern Fringe
Bird's-eye view of the dense urban sprawl and industrial zones of the Domodedovo and Podolsk districts.
Tula Industrial Zone
Distant sightings of the metallurgical and manufacturing complexes surrounding the historic city of Tula.
Central Transport Corridors
Major north-south highway and rail arteries visible as they cut through the Russian landscape.
Forest-Steppe Transition
Watch the dense mixed forests of northern Russia gradually give way to the open agricultural plains of the south.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. During the winter months, look for the contrast between industrial steam and the frozen snowy landscapes near the Tula region.
