KBP â UKS
Which side of the plane to sit from Boryspil International Airport (Kiev) to Belbek Airport (Sevastopol)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior visual experience, featuring the historic Kyiv skyline shortly after takeoff and the scenic Black Sea coastline leading into the Sevastopol bays.
Kyiv Gold Domes
Spectacular views of the Pechersk Lavra and the historic right bank of Kyiv immediately after departure from Boryspil airport.
Dnieper Delta
View the intricate network of islands, lakes, and channels where the Dnieper River empties into the Black Sea near Kherson.
Sevastopol Harbor
A stunning final approach provides a clear look at the historic warships, deep bays, and white stone architecture of Sevastopol.
Ideal for afternoon or evening flights to catch the sunset over the Black Sea. In autumn, the Dnieper Delta vegetation turns golden. Watch for the city of Mykolaiv and its large-scale shipyards roughly 40 minutes after takeoff.
Dnipro River Reservoirs
Early in the flight, observe the expansive blue waters of the Kaniv Reservoir stretching towards the horizon.
Ukrainian Steppe
A mesmerizing geometric patchwork of fertile agricultural lands that change colors from emerald green in spring to gold in late summer.
Crimean Mountain Range
During the descent, the eastern peaks of the Crimean Mountains provide a rugged and scenic vista against the backdrop of the sea.
Best for morning flights (08:00-11:00) to avoid direct sun. In winter, the frozen Dnipro reservoirs offer a unique white-on-blue aesthetic. Look for the Syvash lagoons just before entering the Crimean peninsula.
