Which side of the plane to sit from Krasnodar Pashkovsky International Airport (Krasnodar) to Larnaca International Airport (Larnaca)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic crossing of the Taurus Mountains and the scenic approach over the Mediterranean toward Cyprus.
Kuban Steppe
Vast agricultural patchworks of the fertile Krasnodar region stretching toward the Horizon.
Pontic Mountains
The lush, green northern mountains of Turkey as the aircraft makes landfall from the Black Sea.
Central Taurus Range
Spectacular views of jagged limestone peaks and deep canyons as you exit the Turkish mainland.
Salt Lake & Coastline
During the final descent, view the famous Larnaca Salt Lake and the turquoise Mediterranean shoreline.
Larnaca Bay
The shimmering blue waters of the bay with ships anchored near the port just before touchdown.
The right side is ideal for catching the sunset on late afternoon flights. It offers the most iconic views of the Cypriot coastline and the salt marshes during the final turn into Larnaca International Airport.
Krasnodar Cityscape
Bird's eye view of the Kuban capital and the sprawling urban layout shortly after takeoff.
Greater Caucasus Peaks
In the distance to the southeast, the snow-capped peaks of the Caucasus range are visible on clear days.
Black Sea Crossing
A vast expanse of deep blue water as the flight leaves the Russian coast heading toward Turkey.
Anatolian Plateau
The arid and rugged heartland of Turkey, featuring unique geological folds and dry riverbeds.
Kyrenia Mountains
The narrow mountain range that runs along the northern coast of Cyprus as you descend toward Larnaca.
Sit on the left for morning flights to keep the sun behind you for better photography of the Caucasus. It also provides a great view of the Kyrenia mountain range during the final approach into LCA.
