St. Petersburg Panorama
Breathtaking aerial views of the Neva River delta, the Gulf of Finland, and the historic city center immediately after takeoff.
Lake Ilmen
A massive, shallow lake near Veliky Novgorod, known for its silver-gray waters and significant historical trade routes.
Moscow Outskirts
Distant views of the capital's glowing skyline and the dense infrastructure of the Moscow metropolitan region during mid-flight.
Voronezh Reservoir
A vast artificial body of water that bisects the city of Voronezh, appearing as a blue jewel amidst the southern plains.
The Don River
The winding, serpentine path of the 'Quiet Don' as it carves through the landscape towards the Sea of Azov.
Choose the left side for morning flights to catch the sunrise over the Russian plains. During winter, look for the intricate frozen patterns on the Voronezh Reservoir. Keep an eye out for the rhythmic patterns of southern agriculture as the terrain flattens toward Krasnodar Krai.

Valdai Hills
Gentle, forested elevations that serve as the drainage divide for several major Russian rivers.
Central Russian Upland
Rolling hills and a patchwork of agricultural fields that change colors dramatically between seasons.
Sea of Azov Horizon
On clear days during the descent, the distant shimmering blue of the Sea of Azov can be spotted to the southwest.
Kuban Steppe
The fertile heartland of Russia, characterized by vast, neatly organized geometric farm plots and irrigation canals.
Rostov-on-Don
Occasional views of the 'Gateway to the Caucasus' during the southern leg of the flight path.
The right side is ideal for evening flights to enjoy the sunset over the horizon. During the descent into Krasnodar, look for the distinctive Kuban River. Use polarized sunglasses to reduce the glare from the many small ponds and irrigation channels visible in the south.
