Which side of the plane to sit from Domodedovo International Airport (Moscow) to Krasnodar Pashkovsky International Airport (Krasnodar)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the approaching Krasnodar city skyline and the expansive Krasnodar Reservoir during the final descent, alongside iconic views of the M4 highway artery connecting the north and south.
M4 Don Highway
Observe the main logistical artery of Russia, often visible as a silver ribbon cutting through the steppe.
Tula Industrial Landscapes
Views of the heavy industrial zones and historical manufacturing hubs south of the capital.
Krasnodar Reservoir
Known locally as the Kuban Sea, this massive body of water is a prominent landmark just before landing.
Krasnodar Skyline
Excellent views of the city center's expansion and the FC Krasnodar Stadium's unique 'Coliseum' architecture depending on the wind direction.
The right side is ideal for afternoon or evening flights to catch the sunset without looking directly into the sun. During the landing phase at KRR, the right side typically gets the best view of the Krasnodar Reservoir. Be ready with your camera about 15 minutes before landing for the best urban shots.
Southern Moscow Suburbs
Clear views of the sprawling residential and industrial clusters of the Moscow region shortly after departure.
Oka River Crossing
A beautiful view of one of Russia's major rivers as it snakes through the Tula and Ryazan border regions.
Central Black Earth Region
The landscape transitions into the highly fertile, dark-soiled agricultural heartland near Voronezh.
Kuban Steppe
A massive patchwork of golden and green fields characteristic of the Krasnodar Krai's productive agricultural sector.
Choose the left side for morning flights to enjoy the sunrise reflecting off the numerous rivers and reservoirs. Keep an eye out for the Don River approximately halfway through the journey. Seasonal snow cover in winter makes the field patterns look like a geometric masterpiece.
