DME β†’ PUY

Which side of the plane to sit from Domodedovo International Airport (Moscow) to Pula Airport (Pula)?

Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers superior views of the Austrian Alps, the Julian Alps in Slovenia, and a spectacular aerial approach over the Istrian Peninsula, including Pula's famous Roman Arena.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
✈️

Warsaw Skyline

Clear views of the Vistula River and the modern skyscrapers of the Polish capital.

🏰

Prague Lookout

Often passes close enough to spot the historic spires and the Vltava River winding through the city.

πŸ”οΈ

Northern Limestone Alps

Stunning views of the snow-capped Austrian peaks, including the Dachstein Massif.

🌲

Julian Alps

Slovenia's dramatic mountain range, with Mount Triglav frequently visible to the south.

🏟️

Pula Arena

A breathtaking view of the well-preserved Roman amphitheater just moments before touchdown.

🏝️

Brijuni Islands

The lush green archipelago and national park located just off the coast of the Istrian Peninsula.

The right side is iconic for the landing; sit here to see the Pula Arena and the city harbor as the plane banks for its final approach. Afternoon flights offer the best lighting for the Alps. Ensure you have a window clear of the wing for the best mountain photography.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
πŸ™οΈ

Moscow Suburbs

Expansive views of the southern Moscow metropolitan area and the Oka River during departure.

πŸ”οΈ

Tatra Mountains

Distant but sharp views of the High Tatras on the border between Poland and Slovakia.

🏰

KrakΓ³w Panorama

The historic Polish city and its surrounding southern highlands are often visible in clear weather.

⛰️

Eastern Alps

Glimpses of the rugged limestone massifs of the Austrian Styria region.

🌊

Kvarner Gulf

Deep blue waters and the islands of Krk and Cres visible during the descent into Croatia.

Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. This side is better for spotting the higher peaks of the Tatra range about halfway through the journey. On the final approach into Pula, look for the rugged coastline of the Kvarner region.
