Our Recommendation
8.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior panoramic view of the massive Volga River loop, the Samara city skyline, and the distinctive urban reservoir of Voronezh mid-flight.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🏙️

Samara Waterfront

A clear view of the historical city center and the 5km long urban embankment shortly after departure.

🌊

Samara Bend

The dramatic 180-degree turn of the Volga River, creating a unique peninsula and natural landmark.

🌉

Syzran Bridge

View of the iconic Alexander Railway Bridge, once the longest in Europe, spanning the wide Volga waters.

🛰️

Voronezh Reservoir

A massive man-made lake that cuts through the center of Voronezh city, reflecting sunlight during the day.

🌻

Chernozem Steppes

A patchwork of fertile agricultural fields that turn vibrant yellow and green during the summer months.

Choose a seat behind the wing to see the Samara Bend clearly. This side is especially scenic during sunset flights as the light reflects off the Volga, though passengers should watch for sun glare on morning departures.

Right Side Highlights
7.4
⛰️

Zhiguli Mountains

Rugged limestone peaks that define the northern bank of the Volga, part of a UNESCO biosphere reserve.

🏭

Tolyatti Industrial Hub

Excellent views of the massive AVTOVAZ automotive plants and the Kuybyshev Reservoir dam.

🏘️

Penza Cityscape

The distinct urban layout of Penza and the Sura River are often visible from cruising altitude.

🌳

Central Russian Upland

Rolling hills and dense mixed forests characteristic of the landscape between the Volga and Belgorod.

⚪

Belgorod Chalk Hills

The striking white chalk outcrops on the edge of the city visible during the final descent into Belgorod.

The right side is ideal for photographers on midday flights to avoid direct sunlight. It provides the best perspective of the Zhiguli Mountains during the initial climb and the unique chalk geology of the Belgorod region upon arrival.
