Which side of the plane to sit from Domodedovo International Airport (Moscow) to Nizhny Novgorod Strigino International Airport (Nizhniy Novgorod)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side provides a front-row seat to the confluence of major rivers, the historic layout of Kolomna, and the industrial landscape of Dzerzhinsk during descent.
DME Airport
A full aerial view of the Domodedovo terminal and runways as the aircraft climbs away from the airport.
Kolomna Kremlin
The historic white-stone walls and towers of Kolomna, located where the Moskva River flows into the Oka.
Oka River Curves
Spectacular views of the winding Oka River, featuring dramatic sandbars and wide floodplains.
Dzerzhinsk Industry
A striking view of one of Russia's largest industrial clusters with its network of pipes and factories just before landing.
The right side is ideal for morning flights when the Oka River reflects the early light. Keep your camera ready during the first 15 minutes for the Kolomna confluence and the final 10 minutes for the industrial geography near Nizhny Novgorod.
Moscow Suburbs
Views of the sprawling southern residential districts and logistics hubs of the Moscow region immediately after takeoff.
Vladimir Skyline
On clear days, the ancient cathedrals and historic center of Vladimir are visible to the north across the Klyazma River.
Meshchera Forests
Deep green expanses of the Meshchera Lowlands, characterized by dense pine forests and hidden peat bogs.
Choose the left side for better lighting during afternoon flights to avoid the direct southern sun. Look north as you pass the midway point to spot the Klyazma River winding through the Vladimir Oblast.
