Which side of the plane to sit from Dnipropetrovsk International Airport (Dnepropetrovsk) to Tbilisi International Airport (Tbilisi)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior panorama of the Greater Caucasus, featuring the snow-capped peak of Mount Elbrus, the sparkling Black Sea coastline, and the ancient ruins of Mtskheta during the final approach.
Zaporizhzhia Skyline
Views of the industrial heart of the region and the massive Dnipro Hydroelectric Station dams.
Black Sea Coastline
As the flight curves southeast, the sparkling waters near Sochi and the Abkhazian coast appear in the distance.
Mount Elbrus
A breathtaking view of Europe's highest peak (5,642m) standing tall above the surrounding mountain chain.
Mtskheta
The UNESCO-listed ancient capital and Svetitskhoveli Cathedral are often visible just before landing at TBS.
Sit behind the wing for an unobstructed view of Mount Elbrus, which is the highlight of this route. This side is particularly spectacular during late afternoon flights when the setting sun paints the Caucasus peaks in shades of orange and pink. Keep your camera ready about 35 minutes before arrival.
Dnieper River
Bird's-eye view of the massive river system and its fertile floodplains shortly after departure.
Kuban Steppes
The vast, geometric agricultural patterns of the southern Russian plains stretching toward the horizon.
Mount Kazbek
One of the major mountains of the Caucasus, often visible as a prominent stratovolcano to the northeast.
Ananuri Complex
Tiny glimpses of the historic fortress and the turquoise Zhinvali Reservoir during the descent.
Choose this side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare. It provides the best perspective on the eastern flank of the mountain range and the dramatic transition from the plains to the high peaks. Look for the winding Georgian Military Highway snaking through the valleys below.
