Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers a more dramatic view of Europe's major mountain ranges, including the northern edge of the Alps and the sharp peaks of the High Tatras, before descending over the lush Ukrainian countryside.

Northern Alps
Stunning views of the Bavarian and Austrian Alps shortly after takeoff from Memmingen.
High Tatra Mountains
The highest range in the Carpathian Mountains, featuring jagged peaks along the Poland-Slovakia border.
Carpathian Foothills
Rolling green hills and deep valleys of the Ukrainian Carpathians visible to the south.
Dnieper River
The wide, majestic river that bisects Kiev, often visible during the approach to Zhuliany Airport.
Kiev Lavra
The golden domes of the Pechersk Lavra are often visible when banking for landing at IEV.
The right side is the clear winner for mountain lovers. You will see the Alps shortly after takeoff; for the best view of the High Tatras, look out about 50 to 60 minutes into the flight. Be prepared for direct sunlight, so polarized sunglasses are recommended. On the final approach to Kiev Zhuliany, the right side often provides the best angle for spotting the city's historic golden-domed churches and the Dnieper River.
Book Hotels in Kiev
Bavarian Farmland
Structured landscapes and small German villages immediately after departure from Memmingen.
Krakow Cityscape
Aerial view of Poland's historic cultural capital and the winding Vistula River.
Ukrainian Steppe
The vast, flat agricultural heartland of Western Ukraine, known as the breadbasket of Europe.
Zhytomyr Forests
Dense woodland areas and river systems as the flight approaches the Kiev region.
Sit on the left for softer lighting during morning flights, as you will be facing north away from the sun. This side provides excellent views of Krakow's urban layout and the transition from the structured German landscape to the expansive Ukrainian plains. Keep an eye out for the Dnieper River north of Kiev during the final descent if the flight path circles the city from the north.
