Which side of the plane to sit from Domodedovo International Airport (Moscow) to Larnaca International Airport (Larnaca)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the Anatolian plateau and the dramatic descent into Larnaca, often featuring the famous Salt Lake and the Turkish Riviera.
Moscow Skyline
Depending on takeoff direction, a distant view of the 'Seven Sisters' and the Federation Tower.
Black Sea Crossing
The vast, deep blue expanse of the Black Sea as the flight leaves Russian airspace.
Lake Tuz
A stunning, bright white salt lake in Central Turkey that stands out vividly against the brown landscape.
Antalya Coastline
Spectacular views of the Turkish Riviera, where the Taurus mountains meet the Mediterranean Sea.
Larnaca Salt Lake
A brilliant view of the salt lake right next to the runway, often glowing pink or white depending on the season.
The right side is unbeatable for sunset views on evening flights. For the best experience, choose a seat behind the wing to see the flap movements during the steep descent over the Mediterranean. During winter, look for the pink hue of flamingos at the Larnaca Salt Lake just seconds before touchdown.
Moscow Suburbs
Bird's-eye view of the dense forests and urban expansion surrounding Domodedovo upon takeoff.
Don River Basin
Aerial perspective of the meandering Don River as the flight traverses the southern Russian plains.
Caucasus Range
Distant but majestic views of the snow-capped peaks of the Greater Caucasus on the eastern horizon.
Eastern Taurus Mountains
Rugged limestone ridges and deep valleys as the flight enters Southern Turkish airspace.
Famagusta Bay
The golden beaches and azure waters of the Karpas Peninsula and eastern Cyprus during descent.
Sit on the left for morning flights to enjoy the sunrise over the Russian plains. It also provides a great view of the eastern tip of Cyprus if the plane approaches Larnaca from the northeast. Keep your camera ready for the Caucasus peaks which appear as small white points on the horizon about halfway through the flight.
