Which side of the plane to sit from Kiev Zhuliany International Airport (Kiev) to Uzhhorod International Airport (Uzhgorod)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a more direct view of the high Carpathian peaks during the final third of the flight, capturing the dramatic transition from the flat Podolian Upland to the jagged Gorgany range.

Kiev Southern Suburbs
Aerial view of the Holosiivskyi National Park and the expanding southern residential districts of the capital.
Podolian Upland
A patchwork of vast agricultural fields and rolling hills stretching across central Ukraine.
Gorgany Mountains
Part of the Outer Eastern Carpathians known for their steep, stony slopes and primeval forests.
Synevyr National Park
Dense coniferous forests and deep valleys visible as the plane descends toward the Transcarpathian region.
Ivano-Frankivsk Region
Views of the regional center and its surrounding industrial landscapes before entering the mountain corridor.
Sit on the left for evening flights to witness the sun setting behind the Carpathian silhouette. This side provides the best lighting for the mountain ridges during the approach into Uzhhorod. Watch for the 'Sea Eye' of Synevyr Lake if the flight path is slightly southern.

Central Kiev
On takeoff from Zhuliany, enjoy immediate views of the city center and the Dnieper River loop.
Polissya Forest Belt
Extensive woodland and marshy terrain characteristic of the northern Ukrainian landscape.
Lviv Cityscape
The historic towers and European architecture of Lviv are often visible from cruising altitude.
Beskidy Ridges
The gentler, rolling ridges of the Northern Carpathians providing a lush green carpet.
Slovakian Border
As the plane turns for final approach, the literal border line with Slovakia is visible just west of the runway.
Recommended for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the southern sun. Keep your camera ready during the descent; the Uzhhorod airport is unique as the runway threshold is situated mere meters from the Slovakian border fence.
