Kaniv Hills

Odessa Port

The bustling maritime infrastructure and the iconic Potemkin Stairs as the plane aligns for ODS.

🏖️

Black Sea Coast

The dramatic transition where the southern steppe meets the turquoise and deep blue of the Black Sea.

Bessarabian Vineyards

As you descend, look for the organized rows of vineyards that define the Odesa region's viticulture.

The right side is ideal for sunset flights as the sun dips below the horizon over the plains. For the best experience, choose a seat behind the wing to capture the full panorama of the Odessa coastline and the port as the plane maneuvers for landing.
