Which side of the plane to sit from Dresden Airport (Dresden) to Sheremetyevo International Airport (Moscow)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior perspective of the Giant Mountains early in the flight, a better view of the Warsaw metropolitan area, and a higher probability of spotting the Moscow city skyline during the descent into Sheremetyevo.

Karkonosze Mountains
The snow-capped peaks of the Giant Mountains on the Czech-Polish border are visible to the south shortly after departure.
Warsaw Cityscape
A clear view of the Vistula River and the cluster of skyscrapers in Poland's capital city during the mid-flight segment.
Bialowieza Forest
One of the last and largest remaining parts of the immense primeval forest that once stretched across the European Plain.
Moscow City (MIBC)
On a standard approach to SVO from the west, the massive skyscrapers of Moscow's financial district are often visible to the south.
Sit on the right for the best sunlight exposure during northbound-eastbound morning flights. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes before landing, as air traffic patterns often circle south of the airport, providing a panoramic view of Moscow's urban sprawl.

Dresden Elbe Valley
Aerial view of the 'Florence on the Elbe' and its historic bridges immediately after takeoff from DRS.
Masurian Lake District
A stunning expanse of over 2,000 lakes in northeastern Poland, characterized by deep blue water and lush greenery.
Baltic Sea Horizon
On clear days, looking north provides a distant view of the Gdańsk Bay and the Baltic coastline.
Upper Volga River
Crossing the meandering path of Russia's most iconic river as the aircraft begins its initial descent.
Choose a seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. This side is particularly scenic during summer sunset flights, as the sun will linger on the horizon to the northwest for much of the journey.
