Search flights from LED to CSY
Pushkin and Pavlovsk
Clear views of the Catherine Palace and its sprawling park complexes immediately after takeoff.
Yaroslavl
The ancient city at the confluence of the Volga and Kotorosl rivers, famous for its numerous church spires.
The Volga River
Extensive views of Russia's national river as the flight path parallels its southern course.
Nizhny Novgorod
The spectacular confluence of the Oka and Volga rivers with the Kremlin visible on the hill.
Cheboksary Waterfront
On final approach, the city's bay and the Mother Patroness monument are often visible.
Sit on the right for the most iconic Russian landscapes. During afternoon flights, the sun will be behind you or overhead, providing perfect lighting for photography of the Golden Ring cities. Watch for the 'Stairs of the Volga'—the series of locks and dams along the river.

Lake Ladoga
Europe's largest lake is visible to the northeast shortly after takeoff from St. Petersburg.
Cherepovets Industrial Hub
The massive scale of one of Russia's largest steel-producing cities and its infrastructure.
Northern Rybinsk Reservoir
The vast, sea-like northern waters of the reservoir created by the Volga dam.
Vologda Taiga
Endless stretches of dense coniferous forests characteristic of the Russian North.
Look out early for the Neva River delta. During winter flights, the frozen surface of Lake Ladoga provides a stark, bright white horizon. For the best lighting, morning flights are preferred on this side to avoid the direct southern sun.
