Neva River Delta
Aerial views of the winding Neva river as it flows from Lake Ladoga towards the Gulf of Finland.
Lake Ladoga
The southern horizon of Europe's largest freshwater lake is often visible to the north shortly after takeoff.
Rybinsk Reservoir
A massive man-made sea; the left side offers views of the jagged northern coastline and flooded forest areas.
Yaroslavl Historic Center
The UNESCO-listed city center, featuring the Spaso-Preobrazhensky Monastery, is usually visible during the left-hand bank for landing.
Choose the left side for evening flights to catch the sunset reflecting off the Rybinsk Reservoir. The transition from the dense forests of the Leningrad region to the massive reservoir is the scenic highlight of this route.

Imperial Estates
Immediately after takeoff from Pulkovo, look for the grand parks and palaces of Pushkin and Pavlovsk to the south.
Northwestern Taiga
Vast, unbroken stretches of mixed birch and pine forests characterize the Novgorod and Vologda regions below.
Msta River
Watch for the intricate, snake-like meanders of the Msta river cutting through the flat northwestern plains.
Upper Volga River
As the flight nears Yaroslavl, the right side follows the wide, industrial stretches and winding bends of the Volga river.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. In winter, look for the stark geometric patterns created by frozen riverbeds and irrigation channels in the fields south of the flight path.
