KGD → DME
Which side of the plane to sit from Khrabrovo Airport (Kaliningrad) to Domodedovo International Airport (Moscow)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is superior because it provides a direct view of the Curonian Spit immediately after departure and stays closer to the Estonian coastline and the historic naval sites near St. Petersburg.

Curonian Spit
The iconic 98km UNESCO sand dune formation separating the lagoon from the Baltic Sea.
Estonian Coastline
Clear views of the islands of Saaremaa and Hiiumaa as the plane navigates the Baltic corridor.
Kronstadt Fortress
The historic fortified seaport on Kotlin Island, visible as the flight enters the Gulf of Finland.
Gulf of Finland
Dense shipping lanes and industrial ports along the southern coast of the gulf.
Moscow Skyline
Panoramic views of the capital's southern suburbs and potentially the distant 'Moscow City' towers.
The right side is essential for the Curonian Spit view shortly after takeoff from Khrabrovo. In winter, the frozen Gulf of Finland creates incredible geometric ice patterns best seen from this side. For the best photography, morning flights are recommended to keep the sun behind the aircraft.
