Greater Caucasus
Spectacular views of the high mountain range to the north, often snow-capped year-round.
Kutaisi Landmarks
Aerial view of the Rioni River and the historic center of Kutaisi shortly after takeoff.
Gori Fortress
The historic citadel of Gori is visible in the middle of the Kartli plains.
Mtskheta Confluence
The meeting of the Mtkvari and Aragvi rivers near the ancient capital of Mtskheta during the descent.
Sit on the left for morning flights to see the sun illuminate the snow-capped Caucasus peaks. On clear days, you can spot the ancient Svetitskhoveli Cathedral in Mtskheta during the descent into Tbilisi. Because the flight is very short and at a lower altitude, geographic details are highly visible.

Borjomi-Kharagauli Park

The right side is excellent for afternoon flights to avoid direct glare. It provides a better view of the lush Borjomi-Kharagauli National Park and the winding Mtkvari River valley as you approach the capital. Watch for the changing landscape from the green hills of Imereti to the more arid plains of Kartli.
