Our Recommendation
7.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side is generally superior for witnessing the massive scale of the Volga River and the President's Bridge, one of the longest in Russia, as you descend into Ulyanovsk.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🏙️

Domodedovo Surroundings

Bird's-eye views of the southern Moscow region's industrial and residential clusters shortly after takeoff.

🏗️

Ryazan Skyline

Often visible mid-flight, showcasing the industrial heart and urban layout of the Ryazan Oblast.

🌲

Oka River Basin

Spectacular views of the winding river through the dense mixed forests of central Russia.

🌊

Kuybyshev Reservoir

The vast, sea-like expanse of the Volga River as it widens significantly near Ulyanovsk.

🌉

President's Bridge

A stunning view of the 5.8km bridge spanning the Volga during the final approach phase.

Sit on the left for the best views of the Volga River's immense width. For night flights, the lights of Ryazan and the illuminated President's Bridge are major highlights. Ensure you are seated ahead of the wing for unobstructed views of the river during descent.

Right Side Highlights
6.8
🏰

Kolomna Kremlin

The historic town and its ancient fortifications are frequently visible shortly after departure from DME.

🛶

Oka River Loops

Beautiful meanders of the Oka river reflecting sunlight, especially during the late afternoon.

🏟️

Saransk City

The capital of Mordovia, including the Mordovia Arena, can be spotted to the south on clear days.

🚜

Volga Uplands

Rolling agricultural landscapes and small traditional rural villages characteristic of the Russian heartland.

The right side is ideal for evening flights to catch the golden hour and sunset. It offers a clearer view of the rural landscape and the city of Saransk if the flight path tracks slightly south of the direct line.
