Kremenchuk Reservoir

Kaniv Hills

Kyiv Cityscape
During the approach to KBP, catch glimpses of the Motherland Monument and the golden domes of Pechersk Lavra to the west.
Opt for the left side on morning flights (before 11:00 AM) to have the sun behind you, which perfectly illuminates the river and the city of Kyiv. During the winter, the frozen reservoirs create stunning white geometric patterns. Ensure your seat is positioned away from the wing to fully capture the river's bends.

Boryspil Pine Forests

The right side is best for late afternoon or evening flights to avoid the harsh glare of the setting sun. It offers a more tranquil view of the rural landscape and is ideal for spotting the rhythmic patterns of Ukrainian farming. Watch for the change from flat plains to dense forests as you enter the Kyiv region.
