Our Recommendation
7.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a more scenic approach into the Moscow region, featuring the impressive Oka River and the vast Voronezh Reservoir, plus distant views of the Caucasus foothills during departure.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🏔️

Caucasus Foothills

On clear days, looking back toward the south provides a silhouette of the high Caucasus range.

💧

Voronezh Reservoir

The massive 'Voronezh Sea' is visible mid-flight, looking particularly striking under the sun.

🌉

Oka River Crossing

A major geographic landmark signifying the approach to the Moscow region with its wide, forested banks.

🌲

Moscow Green Belt

Deep green pine and birch forests that surround the southern reaches of the Moscow Oblast.

Morning flights are ideal for the right side as the sun illuminates the landscape from the east. Keep a close watch roughly 20 minutes before landing for the Oka River loops, which are a highlight of the descent into Domodedovo.

Left Side Highlights
6.8
🌆

Krasnodar Cityscape

Aerial view of the city's grid-like layout and the Galitsky Park stadium complex shortly after takeoff.

🐍

Kuban River Bends

The winding path of the Kuban River as it meanders through the fertile southern plains.

🌾

Southern Wheat Fields

A patchwork of gold and green agricultural land characterizing the 'Breadbasket of Russia'.

🏙️

Rostov-on-Don Distance

Potential views of the industrial skyline and the Don River delta to the west.

Sit on the left during late afternoon flights to avoid direct glare while watching the sunset over the Russian steppes. Look for the distinct transition from the flat southern plains to the slightly more rolling hills of the Central Russian Upland.
