Which side of the plane to sit from Khrabrovo Airport (Kaliningrad) to Belgorod International Airport (Belgorod)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a premier view of the Curonian Spit during departure and more interesting urban and river landmarks during the southward journey through the Russian mainland.
Curonian Spit
A 98-km long, thin, curved sand-dune spit that separates the Curonian Lagoon from the Baltic Sea coast.
St. Petersburg Perimeter
Depending on the corridor entry, views of the Gulf of Finland and the distant skyline of the 'Venice of the North'.
Moscow City Skyscrapers
Distant but visible cluster of modern skyscrapers if the flight path tracks west of the capital.
Oka River Bends
Scenic meanders of one of Russia's largest rivers near the city of Serpukhov or Kaluga.
Tula Spires
The historic industrial city known for its gingerbread and samovars, visible during the descent phase.
Sit on the left (Window A) for the best views of the Curonian Spit immediately after takeoff from KGD. Morning flights provide excellent front-lighting for the coastline. During the cruise over the Russian mainland, keep an eye out for the distinct silver loops of the Oka River.
Baltic Sea Expanse
Deep blue vistas of the open Baltic Sea while traversing the international flight corridor.
Estonian Archipelago
Distant views of Saaremaa and Hiiumaa islands across the maritime border.
Valdai Hills
The forested upland area that serves as a major watershed for European Russia.
Central Russian Upland
Geometric patterns of vast agricultural fields characteristic of the Belgorod and Kursk regions.
Choose the right side (Window F) for sunset views if flying in the late afternoon, as the sun will set over the Baltic Sea. It is also the better side for observing the transition from the forested northern landscape to the fertile black-earth steppes of the south.
