KBP โ BRU
Which side of the plane to sit from Boryspil International Airport (Kiev) to Brussels Airport (Brussels)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a superior view of Kiev's historic city center upon departure and a clearer perspective of the industrial Ruhr valley and the Atomium during the approach to Brussels.
Kiev Skyline
Unmatched views of Saint Sophia's Cathedral and the golden domes of central Kiev shortly after departure.
Wrocลaw Bridges
The scenic 'City of Bridges' in Poland, where the Oder River splits into multiple channels and islands.
Harz National Park
The Brocken peak and the densely forested granite mountains of northern Germany are visible mid-flight.
Ruhr Metropolitan Area
The massive urban sprawl of Essen, Dortmund, and Duisburg, showcasing the industrial heart of Europe.
Brussels Atomium
Look for the iconic silver spheres of the Atomium on the northern outskirts of the city during the final descent.
The right side is essential for seeing the Kiev city center during a westbound departure. For evening flights, this side offers spectacular sunset views over the German plains. Keep your camera ready during the final 10 minutes for the Brussels suburbs.
Dnieper River
Expansive views of the winding river and its southern tributaries immediately after takeoff from Kiev.
Tatra Mountains
Distant, jagged peaks of the High Tatras visible to the south as the plane crosses into southern Poland.
Dresden & Elbe Valley
The historic architecture of Dresden's Altstadt and the sweeping curves of the Elbe River in Germany.
Ardennes Highlands
Rolling green hills and dense forest canopies as the flight path enters eastern Belgium.
City of Liรจge
A bird's-eye view of the Meuse River and the industrial landscape surrounding this historic Belgian hub.
Choose a seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. On morning flights, this side experiences less direct sunlight, making it easier to photograph the Tatra range in the distance to the south.
