Ruhr Metropolis
Witness the dense urban cluster and industrial heritage of the Rhine-Ruhr region immediately after departure from Düsseldorf.
Baltic Shoreline
Aerial views of the Pomeranian coast and the Baltic Sea's blue waters as you transit Northern Poland.
Gulf of Gdańsk
The striking Hel Peninsula and the Vistula Spit are clearly visible as thin ribbons of sand separating the lagoon from the sea.
Moscow Skyscrapers
Depending on the traffic pattern, the Moscow City business district's iconic skyscrapers are frequently seen on the left during descent.
For evening flights, the left side provides a spectacular view of the sun setting over the Baltic Sea. Sit near the front or back of the cabin to avoid the wing blocking the view of the Vistula Spit. Keep your camera ready about 30 minutes before landing for the Moscow skyline.

Harz Mountains
Look south to see the Brocken peak and the surrounding national park's dense evergreen forests in Central Germany.
Warsaw Skyline
The plane often passes south of the Polish capital, providing a view of the Vistula River and the Palace of Culture and Science.
Eastern Plains
Vast, intricate patterns of the Russian agricultural landscape as you cross the border into the Moscow oblast.
Oka River
A major tributary of the Volga that snakes through the landscape south of the final approach path into DME.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun while flying eastbound. It offers a great perspective of the Harz Mountains roughly 25 to 30 minutes after takeoff. Look for the distinct winding path of the Vistula River as you pass the midpoint of the journey.
