EGOKRR

Our Recommendation
7.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior view of the massive Krasnodar Reservoir during the final descent and the potential to spot the snow-capped peaks of the Caucasus Mountains on the southern horizon during clear weather.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏙️

Belgorod Panorama

Excellent views of the 'White City' skyline and the Cathedral Square shortly after takeoff from EGO.

💧

Don River Basin

The winding curves and silver threads of the Don River as the flight moves south through the fertile black-earth region.

🌊

Krasnodar Reservoir

A vast man-made sea, also known as the Kuban Sea, that dominates the landscape just before touchdown.

🏔️

Caucasus Range

On very clear days, the jagged, snowy skyline of the Greater Caucasus Mountains is visible to the south-southeast.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct glare and for the best view of the reservoir. The Caucasus mountains are best seen in autumn or winter when the air is crisp. During the descent into KRR, keep your camera ready for the contrast between the blue water and the green Kuban plains.

Right Side Highlights
6.8
🚜

Kuban Steppes

The endless, geometric patchwork of Russia's breadbasket, showcasing diverse agricultural colors from above.

⚓

Sea of Azov Glimpse

In the distance to the west, the shimmering waters of the Taganrog Bay can sometimes be spotted on clear days.

🌆

Krasnodar City

A bird's-eye view of the city's expanding northern districts and the modern Galitsky Park area during the final approach.

🛤️

North-Caucasian Railway

Major rail arteries connecting central Russia to the Black Sea coast are visible snaking across the landscape.

The right side is ideal for evening flights to catch the golden hour over the vast agricultural steppes. It provides a better perspective of Krasnodar's urban sprawl if the flight path follows the typical northern approach pattern. Watch for the sunlight reflecting off the intricate irrigation canals near the Kuban River.
