The rugged, forested slopes of the Eastern Carpathian Mountains visible through Western Ukraine and Romania.
Danube River
The winding path of Europe's second-longest river as it crosses the plains of southern Romania.
Nessebar Peninsula
The ancient UNESCO World Heritage town and the adjacent Sunny Beach resort are clearly visible during the final approach.
The right side is best for evening flights to witness the sunset over the Carpathian range. During the final 15 minutes of flight, keep your camera ready for the distinctive shape of the Nessebar old town protruding into the sea. In summer, the coastal resorts are brilliantly lit and easily identifiable.

St. Petersburg Skyline
A stunning view of the Neva river and the imperial architecture of the city shortly after takeoff.
Lake Ilmen
A vast and historically significant lake in the Novgorod region of Russia visible in the first 20 minutes.
Black Sea Coastline

Choose the left side for morning departures to minimize direct sun exposure. As you approach Bulgaria, watch for the distant silhouette of the Balkan Mountains meeting the sea. During winter, look for ice formations along the northern shores of the Black Sea.
