Our Recommendation
7.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior perspective of the Moscow skyline during the initial climb and provides a dramatic view of the Dnieper River and Kiev's historic city center during the descent into Boryspil.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🏙️

Moscow Skyline

A distant view of the Federation Tower and the Seven Sisters skyscrapers depending on the departure vector.

🌳

Bryansk Massif

The deep green expanse of the Bryansk Forest, one of Europe's largest continuous woodland areas.

☦️

Kiev Pechersk Lavra

The iconic golden domes of the 11th-century monastery complex visible during the final approach.

🌉

Dnieper River

Excellent views of the winding riverbanks and the various bridges connecting Kiev's East and West banks.

Sit in the front half of the cabin for an unobstructed view of Kiev's landmarks. Evening flights are particularly beautiful as the sun sets over the city, reflecting off the golden church domes.

Left Side Highlights
6.2
🌲

Kaluga Woodlands

Dense mixed forests and undulating terrain of the Central Russian Upland shortly after takeoff.

🌾

Chernihiv Plains

Vast, geometrically arranged agricultural fields that define the landscape of Northern Ukraine.

💧

Kaniv Reservoir

Glittering views of the southern Dnieper reservoirs if the flight path tracks slightly east of the city.

Sit on the left for softer lighting during afternoon flights. It is the best side for observing the rural transitions from Russian forests to Ukrainian agricultural heartlands.
