FKB β DME
Which side of the plane to sit from Karlsruhe Baden-Baden Airport (Karlsruhe/Baden-Baden) to Domodedovo International Airport (Moscow)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side typically offers superior views of the German urban centers and a potential distant view of the Berlin skyline, followed by the unique glacial lakelands of northern Belarus.
Thuringian Forest
Scenic views of the densely forested mountains in central Germany shortly after takeoff.
Leipzig-Halle Area
A clear view of the urban sprawl and the major logistical hubs of eastern Germany.
Berlin Skyline
On clear days, the distant silhouette of the Berlin TV Tower and city center can be spotted to the north.
PoznaΕ
View of one of Poland's oldest cities, featuring a distinct historical center and the Warta River.
Belarusian Lakelands
A massive collection of small glacial lakes and dense birch forests across northern Belarus.
North Moscow Suburbs
The sprawling expansion of Moscow's modern residential and industrial districts during the descent.
On morning flights, the left side is shaded, providing better conditions for photography. Keep an eye out about 40 minutes into the flight for the distant sprawl of Berlin. During winter, the landscape of Belarus transforms into a stunning white tundra.
Ore Mountains
The rugged border region between Germany and the Czech Republic visible to the southeast.
Dresden Elbe Valley
The winding Elbe River and the architectural landmarks of the Saxon capital.
Warsaw
A fantastic view of the Polish capital, including the Vistula River and the city's growing skyscraper cluster.
Pripyat River Basin
The complex network of wetlands and meandering river paths near the Belarusian-Ukrainian border.
Smolensk Uplands
Rolling hills and heavy forestation as the flight enters the heart of Western Russia.
DME Southern Approach
Glimpses of the Oka River and the dacha communities surrounding Moscow's southern outskirts.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to catch the sunset over the European plains. Pay attention when overflying Poland to see the Vistula River cutting through Warsaw. This side often provides a clearer view of the final approach path into Domodedovo.
