Which side of the plane to sit from Pulkovo Airport (St. Petersburg) to Karlovy Vary International Airport (Karlovy Vary)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior visual experience, featuring the stunning Baltic coastline, the unique Curonian Spit, and a picturesque descent over the Ore Mountains into Karlovy Vary.
Kronshtadt & Gulf of Finland
Immediately after takeoff, see the historic naval fortress island and the sprawling Neva Bay.
Riga & Jurmala
Panoramic views of the Gulf of Riga, the Daugava River, and the white sand beaches of the Latvian Riviera.
Curonian Spit
The narrow, 98-kilometer long sand-dune spit that separates the Curonian Lagoon from the Baltic Sea.
Gdańsk Bay
The historic port cities of Gdańsk and Gdynia, along with the distinctive Hel Peninsula curved into the sea.
Ore Mountains
Also known as Erzgebirge, these forested peaks provide a dramatic backdrop during the final approach into KLV.
The right side is the clear winner for coastal scenery. Aim for a seat ahead of the wing to avoid engine heat haze when photographing the Curonian Spit. On evening flights, you will be treated to a spectacular sunset over the Baltic Sea for a significant portion of the journey.
Lake Peipus
View the massive expanse of Europe's fifth-largest lake, marking the natural border between Russia and Estonia.
Baltic Woodlands
Dense, deep green pine and spruce forests stretching across the interior of Latvia and Lithuania.
Masurian Lake District
A breathtaking mosaic of over 2,000 post-glacial lakes interconnected by rivers and canals in northeastern Poland.
Warsaw Skyline
On clear days, the distant cluster of skyscrapers in the Polish capital is visible as the flight heads southwest.
Vistula River Basin
The winding path of Poland's longest river cutting through agricultural heartlands and central plains.
Sit on the left for softer, indirect light during midday flights. Keep your eyes peeled for the Masurian Lake District roughly midway through the flight, as the sunlight reflects beautifully off the water surfaces during the afternoon.
