GOA → DME
Which side of the plane to sit from Genoa Cristoforo Colombo Airport (Genoa) to Domodedovo International Airport (Moscow)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a superior panoramic view of the highest peaks in the Swiss and Italian Alps, including stunning vistas of Lake Como and Lake Maggiore shortly after takeoff, followed by clear views of Prague and Warsaw.
The High Alps
Spectacular views of the Pennine and Lepontine Alps, including snow-capped peaks and glaciers near the Swiss border.
Italian Great Lakes
Bird's-eye view of the deep blue waters and winding shorelines of Lake Como and Lake Maggiore.
Prague Skyline
The Vltava River and the distinct red rooftops and spires of the Czech capital are often visible in the distance.
Warsaw Urban Area
A clear perspective of the Vistula River cutting through the modern skyline of the Polish capital.
Belarusian Forests
Vast expanses of dense green forests and wetlands as the flight enters Eastern Europe.
Choose a seat in the front half of the cabin to avoid wing obstruction. On morning flights, the sun is behind you, providing excellent lighting for photography of the Alps. Look down approximately 20-30 minutes after departure for the best lake views.
Ligurian Coast
Immediate views of the Portofino Peninsula and the dramatic cliffs of the Italian Riviera upon departure.
The Dolomites
The unique, jagged limestone formations of the Eastern Alps provide a dramatic landscape to the south.
Vienna & Danube
The sprawling Austrian capital and the winding path of the Danube River are visible during the mid-flight segment.
Kraków
Views of the historic center of Kraków and the surrounding industrial landscapes of Southern Poland.
Moscow Approach
As the plane descends into DME, watch for the sprawling suburban developments and dense birch forests surrounding the city.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to catch the 'golden hour' light over the Russian landscape. During the initial climb, look back to see the Genoa harbor. Be aware that the sun will be on this side for most of the flight, so keep the window shade partially down if it gets too hot.
