Kyiv City Center
Aerial view of the golden domes and the sprawling residential districts of the Ukrainian capital shortly after takeoff.
Berezinsky Biosphere Reserve
Vast stretches of protected Belarusian marshlands and dense coniferous forests visible mid-flight.
Gulf of Riga
Glittering views of the Baltic Sea horizon as the plane crosses the Latvian-Estonian border area.
Pärnu Bay
The scenic coastline of Estonia's summer capital with its long sandy beaches and shallow coastal waters.
Tallinn Old Town
The distinctive red roofs and medieval spires of the UNESCO World Heritage site during the final descent into TLL.
For the best experience, choose a seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. On the typical approach to Runway 26, the left side is essential for seeing the historic city center. Morning flights are ideal as the sun remains behind the aircraft, illuminating the landscape perfectly.

Desna River
Beautiful winding meanders and tributaries of the Desna as it merges near the departure point.
Eastern European Plains
A patchwork of agricultural fields and rural villages stretching across the Belarusian landscape.
Lake Peipus
The massive expanse of one of Europe's largest lakes, which forms the natural border between Estonia and Russia.
Lahemaa National Park
The rugged northern Estonian coastline featuring bays, peninsulas, and thick woodland.
Lake Ülemiste
The large freshwater lake immediately adjacent to the Tallinn airport runway, providing a unique 'water landing' feel.
The right side is perfect for capturing the scale of Lake Peipus. If the flight occurs during late afternoon or evening, the low sun from the west provides a warm, golden glow across the eastern plains. Keep an eye out for the Russian border markers near the lake.
