Kharkiv Cityscape
Aerial views of Freedom Square and the dense urban grid of Ukraine's second-largest city immediately after takeoff.
Donbas Steppes
Expansive agricultural landscapes and industrial clusters typical of Eastern Ukraine's rolling plains.
Mount Elbrus
The majestic, snow-capped dormant volcano and Europe's highest peak, visible as you approach the Georgian border.
Greater Caucasus Peaks
A dramatic procession of jagged, glacier-covered peaks stretching toward the Caspian Sea.
Upper Rioni Valley
The lush, deep green river valleys of the Imereti region as the plane descends into Kutaisi.
Sit on the left for the most dramatic mountain scenery. For the best photography of Mt. Elbrus, choose a morning flight to have the sun behind you or at a side angle, highlighting the snow contours. Ensure your window is clean, as the contrast between the white peaks and blue sky is the highlight of the trip.

Sea of Azov Coastline
The winding shores where the Don River meets the shallowest sea in the world.
Sochi and Adler
The coastal resort city and Olympic Park facilities visible along the Black Sea shoreline.
Black Sea Horizon
A vast expanse of deep blue water stretching toward the Turkish coast to the southwest.
Colchis Lowland
The ancient, fertile wetlands and tea-growing regions of Western Georgia during the final approach.
The right side is ideal for evening flights to catch the sunset over the Black Sea. While you miss the highest peaks, you get a better sense of the coastline transition from Russia into Georgia. It is generally a more relaxing, blue-toned view compared to the rugged terrain on the left.
