Samarskaya Luka
Witness the dramatic 180-degree bend of the Volga River and the sprawling Samara city skyline shortly after takeoff.
Warsaw Skyline
View the modern skyscrapers and historic center of the Polish capital as the flight traverses central Poland.
Russian Heartland
Aerial views of the distinct agricultural mosaic and rolling hills of the Central Russian Upland.
Thuringian Forest
The dense green canopy of one of Germany's most famous mountain forest ranges during the initial descent phase.
For the most spectacular experience, book an evening flight; you will chase the sunset westward, providing hours of golden-hour lighting. Choose a seat behind the wing to ensure the engine doesn't obstruct the view of the Volga River's unique geography during the climb.

Zhiguli Mountains
See the rugged limestone peaks that form the northern border of the Volga's Great Bend near Samara.
Minsk Region
The sprawling urban outskirts and vast forest belts of Belarus are often visible to the north of the flight path.
Vistula River
Follow the winding path of Poland's longest river as it snakes through the northern European plains.
Harz Mountains
The northernmost mountain range in Germany, featuring the Brocken peak, is visible during the approach to Frankfurt.
The right side is ideal for travelers who prefer indirect lighting and less glare. It provides a better vantage point for the industrial landscape of the Ruhr area and northern German plains if the flight path is slightly more northern than usual. Watch for the Zhiguli Mountains within the first 10 minutes of flight.
