Which side of the plane to sit from Geneva Cointrin International Airport (Geneva) to Minsk National Airport (Minsk 2)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is superior for its early-flight panorama of the Swiss Alps, including distant views of Mont Blanc, and better positioning for viewing the city of Warsaw during the cruise phase.
Search flights from GVA to MSQ
Mont Blanc & Lake Geneva
Spectacular views of Western Europe's highest peak and the crescent-shaped lake shortly after departure.
Swiss Alps Panorama
A stunning horizon of snow-capped peaks including the Eiger and Jungfrau visible to the south.
Bavarian Heartland
Fly over the rolling hills and orderly farmlands of southern Germany, south of Munich.
Warsaw Skyline
A clear view of the Vistula River and the skyscrapers of the Polish capital during the latter half of the flight.
Naliboki Forest
One of the largest forest complexes in Belarus, appearing as a vast green carpet before landing.
Sit on the right for the most iconic views of the flight. For the best Alpine photography, book a morning flight when the sun illuminates the northern faces of the mountains. Keep your camera ready in the first 15 minutes of flight for the Mont Blanc reveal.

Jura Mountains
Visible immediately after takeoff, these rugged limestone ridges mark the border between Switzerland and France.
Black Forest
Expansive views of the dark, dense evergreen forests of southwestern Germany as you cross the Rhine.
Leipzig and Dresden
Major urban centers of Eastern Germany with distinct architectural layouts visible from high altitude.
Oder River
The natural border between Germany and Poland, winding through fertile agricultural floodplains.
Minsk City View
On the final approach, the sprawling Soviet-style blocks and wide avenues of the Belarusian capital come into focus.
Choose the left side for evening flights to avoid the direct glare of the southern sun. This side offers better views of the Jura mountains and the industrial heritage of Eastern Germany. During winter, look for the stark contrast of snow-covered German forests.
