Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side of the aircraft offers an immediate and breathtaking panorama of the Greater Caucasus mountain range, featuring some of Europe's highest peaks, before transitioning into the vast agricultural heartland of Eastern Europe.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
πŸ”οΈ

Greater Caucasus Range

Massive snow-capped peaks that dominate the horizon for the first 20 minutes of the flight.

πŸŒ‹

Mount Elbrus

In high visibility, Europe’s highest peak can be spotted rising above the northern mountain wall.

🏟️

Sochi Coastline

The coastal infrastructure of the Russian Riviera, including Olympic venues, is often visible to the north.

🌻

Donbas Steppe

The rolling hills and industrial landscapes of Eastern Ukraine as the flight heads toward Kharkiv.

Secure a window seat on the right for morning flights to have the mountains illuminated by the rising sun. Bring a zoom lens for your camera, as the peaks of the Caucasus provide excellent high-altitude photography opportunities shortly after takeoff from Kutaisi. Keep an eye out for the distinct transition from the rugged mountains to the flat Ukrainian plains.

🌊

Black Sea Horizon

A sweeping view of the deep blue Black Sea as the aircraft departs the Georgian coast near Poti.

πŸ–οΈ

Crimean Peninsula

On clear days, the southern coastline of Crimea and its distinct mountain ridges are visible across the water.

πŸ’§

Dnieper River Delta

The complex network of waterways and wetlands where Ukraine's most famous river meets the sea.

πŸ™οΈ

Kharkiv City Center

Views of the sprawling city grid, including the massive Freedom Square, during the final approach.

Choose the left side for sunset flights to witness the sun dipping into the Black Sea. This side is also better for observing the reflective surfaces of the Dnieper reservoirs during the mid-flight phase. Watch for the change in soil color as you move into the fertile 'Black Earth' regions of Ukraine.
