Mount Aragats
Armenia's highest massif, featuring four distinct peaks, visible almost immediately after takeoff to the northwest.
Mount Elbrus
The twin-coned dormant volcano and Europe's highest point dominates the western horizon for a significant duration.
Greater Caucasus Ridges
Dramatic views of jagged snow-capped peaks and deep glacial valleys as the flight crosses the border into Russia.
South Russian Steppe
Geometric patterns of vast agricultural fields in the Stavropol and Krasnodar regions stretching to the horizon.
Moscow Skyline
Panoramic views of the capital's skyscrapers and the Ostankino Tower during the final approach to Domodedovo.
Sit on the left for the best views of Mount Elbrus roughly 25 minutes after takeoff. On evening flights, this side catches the golden hour and sunset, providing excellent lighting for photography of the mountain ranges. If the flight approaches DME from the south, you may spot the Moscow City business district.

Lake Sevan
The 'Jewel of Armenia' is a massive alpine lake visible to the east shortly after departure from Yerevan.
Mount Kazbek
A majestic stratovolcano and one of the major mountains of the Caucasus, located on the border between Georgia and Russia.
Terek River
Winding turquoise waters carving through the historic Darial Gorge at the base of the mountains.
Central Russian Uplands
A transition into lush green landscapes and dense deciduous forests as the flight nears the Lipetsk and Tula regions.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare while viewing Lake Sevan and Mount Kazbek. It offers a unique perspective of the Caucasus crossing further east of the main peaks. Keep an eye out for the Volga-Don canal area if the flight path tracks slightly further east.
