Meshchersky Lowlands
Dense, sprawling forest tracks and wetlands south of the Moscow region shortly after takeoff.

Gentle rolling hills and agricultural patterns of Western Russia near the Belarusian border.
Minsk Distant Skyline
On a clear day, the southern suburbs of the Belarusian capital may be visible during the mid-flight cruise.
Medininkai Highland
The highest point in Lithuania, visible as the plane crosses the border and begins its descent.
