Kiev Cityscape
Upon departure from Zhuliany, enjoy a panoramic view of the capital's historic center and the golden domes of the Pechersk Lavra.
Kremenchuk Reservoir
Witness the immense scale of this reservoir, which looks like an inland sea, dominating the landscape for a significant portion of the flight.
Dnipro Metropolis
As the flight nears its destination, you will likely pass the city of Dnipro, offering views of its riverside skyscrapers and bridges.
DniproHES Dam
During the descent into Zaporizhzhia, look for the iconic curved wall of the Dnieper Hydroelectric Station, a marvel of 20th-century engineering.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the harsh southern sun glare. This side is also better for capturing the scale of the Dnieper River system. In autumn, the contrast between the deep blue water and the golden shoreline forests is particularly striking from this side.
