Passengers on the right side can view the meandering Vyatka River and the dense green forests surrounding the airport as the aircraft ascends.
The right side of the aircraft offers the most dramatic views, including the vast expanse of Lake LadogaโEurope's largest lakeโand the iconic St. Petersburg skyline and Lakhta Center during the final approach into Pulkovo.
The right side offers spectacular views of the winding Pechora River, distant silhouettes of the Northern Ural Mountains, and the striking industrial light of the Usinsk oil fields before descending into the Arctic delta.
The right side is generally superior for this route because it offers an expansive view of the Moscow skyline, including the Moscow City skyscrapers, during the standard approach into Vnukovo from the northeast.
