DUSVKO

Our Recommendation
7.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of major urban centers like Warsaw and the impressive Moscow City skyscraper cluster during the typical descent patterns into Vnukovo.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🏙️

Warsaw Skyline

The flight path often passes south of the Polish capital, offering a clear view of its modern skyscrapers and the Vistula River.

⛰️

Harz Mountains

Look south early in the flight to spot the highest mountain range in Northern Germany, often shrouded in mist or snow-capped in winter.

🏰

Historic Smolensk

One of Russia's oldest cities, recognizable by its ancient fortress walls, is frequently visible depending on the specific air corridor.

🏢

Moscow City Skyscrapers

The dramatic cluster of modern glass skyscrapers in the heart of Moscow is most frequently visible from this side during the final VKO arrival.

🛤️

M1 Highway Path

Observe the massive transport artery and railway lines cutting through the Russian landscape as you approach the capital's metro area.

Sit on the right for evening flights to witness spectacular sunsets over the wing. Keep your camera ready approximately 60 to 70 minutes after takeoff for the best chance to spot the Warsaw skyline.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏞️

Masurian Lake District

A breathtaking mosaic of over 2,000 lakes in northeastern Poland, providing intricate patterns of blue and green during the middle segment of the flight.

✈️

North German Plain

Expansive views of the agricultural heartland of Germany and the winding Elbe River shortly after departure from Dusseldorf.

🌲

Belarusian Woodlands

Dense, dark green forest patches and marshlands typical of the Eastern European landscape near the border regions.

🏢

Moscow Suburbs

The dense residential architecture and planned districts of the northern and western outskirts as the plane prepares for landing.

Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you, which is ideal for photography. This side is perfect for capturing the natural symmetry of the Polish lakes without solar glare.
