Gulf of Finland
Excellent views of the Baltic Sea shoreline and the coastal islands near Estonia and Latvia.
Curonian Spit
A unique 98km long thin sand-dune spit visible as the flight path passes the Kaliningrad region.
Gdansk Bay
The industrial and historic skyline of Poland's major port cities and the distinctive Hel Peninsula.
Sudetes Mountains
The dramatic Krkonose and Sudetes ranges marking the border between Poland and the Czech Republic during descent.
The right side is ideal for morning flights when the sun is behind the aircraft, illuminating the Baltic coast perfectly. Keep your camera ready approximately 40-50 minutes into the flight for the Curonian Spit. During the descent into Pardubice, the mountain views are most prominent on this side.

Pushkin Palaces
View the ornate Catherine Palace and surrounding parks just south of Pulkovo Airport shortly after takeoff.

Masurian Lake District
A mosaic of thousands of lakes and dense forests visible while overflying northeastern Poland.
Warsaw Outskirts

Sit on the left for departures toward the south to see the imperial estates of St. Petersburg. In winter, the frozen Lake Peipus creates a stark, beautiful white landscape. This side is best during midday to avoid the direct glare of the sun which is often positioned to the south.
