Which side of the plane to sit from Kazan International Airport (Kazan) to Belgorod International Airport (Belgorod)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of the massive Volga-Kama confluence immediately after takeoff and provides a better perspective of the Voronezh Reservoir and the dramatic agricultural transitions of the Black Soil region.
Volga-Kama Confluence
Witness the massive meeting point of Russia's two most iconic rivers just south of Kazan, looking like a vast inland sea.
Voronezh Reservoir
A clear view of the 'Voronezh Sea,' a massive artificial lake cutting through the center of the city during the mid-flight descent.
Chernozem Fields
The deep black soils of the Central Russian Upland create a striking geometric patchwork of high-contrast agriculture.
Stary Oskol Iron Mines
Vast open-pit mines and industrial complexes visible as the flight enters the Belgorod Oblast.
Choose the left side for morning flights to have the sun behind you, perfectly illuminating the river networks. Keep your camera ready in the first 10 minutes for the Volga and again 20 minutes before landing for the Voronezh skyline. In winter, the frozen reservoir provides a stunning white expanse against the city grid.
Kazan Cityscape
If the flight departs toward the northwest, you will catch a glimpse of the Kazan Kremlin's white walls and the Kul Sharif Mosque.
Sura River Basin
Dense forest patches and winding river loops through the Chuvash Republic and Mordovia.
Lipetsk Industrial Hub
The sprawling Novolipetsk Steel plant creates an impressive industrial landscape with steam and intricate infrastructure.
Central Russian Upland
Rolling hills and gentle valleys that define the geography between the Don and the Dnieper rivers.
The right side is ideal for evening flights to witness the sunset over the Russian plains. It offers better views of the industrial heartland of Lipetsk. If the wind is from the west, you will likely get a panoramic view of Belgorod city during the final turn for landing.
