Poltava Region
View the geometric patterns of the fertile Ukrainian chernozem farmland and the historic city of Poltava.
Dnieper River Crossing
The flight crosses the massive Dnieper River, offering a spectacular view of the wide waterway south of Kyiv.
Lublin Old Town
As you enter Polish airspace, the city of Lublin and its medieval architecture are clearly visible.
Lublin Upland
Characteristic loess landscapes and narrow strip-field agriculture typical of eastern Poland.
Warsaw South
On the final approach, view the expanding southern suburbs of Wilanów and the Vistula riverbanks.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. Watch for the Dnieper crossing about 40 minutes into the flight; the river's scale is best appreciated from this side. During winter, the agricultural patterns in eastern Poland create a stunning monochrome tapestry.

Excellent views of Freedom Square and the dense urban grid of Kharkiv immediately after takeoff.
Kyiv North
Distant views of the golden domes of Kyiv and the massive Kyiv Reservoir to the north.

Bug River
The winding natural border between Ukraine and Poland, characterized by its many oxbow lakes.
Warsaw Skyline
Direct views of the high-rise financial district and the Palace of Culture and Science during northern approaches.
The right side is ideal for evening flights to catch the sunset over the Polish plains. Keep an eye out for the Kyiv Sea (reservoir) roughly midway through the flight. If the wind is from the south, the right side offers the most iconic view of Warsaw's skyscrapers during landing.
