Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a front-row seat to the majestic Great Caucasus Range, specifically the double-coned summit of Mount Elbrus, the highest peak in Europe.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🌾

Stavropol Farmlands

Geometric patterns of the highly productive agricultural regions of Southern Russia.

🏔️

Mount Elbrus

Unrivaled views of the highest peak in Europe, featuring its distinct twin volcanic cones.

⛰️

The Great Caucasus

A breathtaking wall of snow-capped peaks stretching as far as the eye can see.

💧

Tbilisi Sea

The large reservoir on the outskirts of Tbilisi, serving as a landmark during the landing pattern.

🏔️

Gudauri Highlands

Rugged mountain terrain and ski resort areas visible just before the descent into the Tbilisi basin.

The right side is the definitive choice for mountain lovers. Ensure you are seated behind the wing for the best view of Mount Elbrus, which appears approximately 1.5 hours into the flight. Winter flights provide the most dramatic, snow-covered scenery, while summer flights offer better visibility of the deep green valleys.

Left Side Highlights

🏙️

Moscow Skyline

Catch glimpses of the Russian capital and the sprawling suburbs shortly after takeoff from DME.

🌊

Don River

The winding path of the Don River as it flows through the fertile southern Russian plains.

🏔️

Mount Kazbek

A massive stratovolcano and one of the major mountains of the Caucasus, visible near the border.

⛪

Mtskheta

The ancient capital of Georgia and the iconic Jvari Monastery visible on the final descent.

🌆

Tbilisi Cityscape

A wide panorama of the Georgian capital nestled in the Kura River valley upon arrival.

Choose the left side for better views of Mount Kazbek and the historic sites of Mtskheta. Morning flights offer softer light for this side, while afternoon flights may suffer from direct glare. Watch for the dramatic change in terrain as the flat plains suddenly erupt into the high Caucasus.
