Belgorod Cityscape
Aerial view of the 'White City' and its distinctive chalk hills immediately after departure.
Central Russian Upland
Vast agricultural patchworks and rolling hills of the Belgorod and Kursk regions.
Curonian Spit
The narrow, 98-kilometer long sand-dune spit that separates the Baltic Sea from the lagoon.
Curonian Lagoon
The large body of water protected by the spit, often filled with fishing boats near the Kaliningrad coast.
Book a window seat on the left for the approach into Khrabrovo. If the aircraft lands from the north (Runway 24), the Curonian Spit will be clearly visible. For morning flights, this side avoids the direct glare of the sun during the northern leg of the journey.
