Which side of the plane to sit from Belgorod International Airport (Belgorod) to Domodedovo International Airport (Moscow)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular view of the massive Lebedinsky iron ore mines and a better perspective of the Oka River valley during the descent into Moscow.
Lebedinsky Mine
One of the world's largest open-pit iron ore mines near Gubkin, visible as a massive tiered crater.
Stary Oskol
A clear view of the industrial landscape and urban layout of this major metallurgy center.
Oka River
A wide, scenic river crossing as the aircraft begins its final descent into the Moscow region.
Moscow Greenbelt
Dense mixed forests and small dachas that surround the southern approach to Domodedovo.
Tula Suburbs
Depending on the flight path, the outskirts of the historic city of Tula can be seen mid-flight.
Look out the window early! The Lebedinsky GOK iron mines are a rare industrial sight and appear shortly after departure from Belgorod. During landing at DME, this side typically offers a better view of the airport infrastructure and nearby forest patches.
Central Russian Upland
Expansive views of the undulating agricultural plains and rolling hills characteristic of the region.
Kursk City
Aerial view of the historic city of Kursk and the winding Seim River passing through it.
Western Horizon
On evening flights, this side provides unobstructed views of the sunset over the Russian steppe.
M2 Highway
The main transit artery connecting Moscow to the southern border is often visible snaking through the landscape.
Choose this side for evening flights to enjoy the sunset without the harsh glare of direct sun during the early part of the journey. Keep your camera ready about 15-20 minutes after takeoff for the best view of Kursk.
