Which side of the plane to sit from Pulkovo Airport (St. Petersburg) to Bolshoye Savino Airport (Perm)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers the most consistent views of the Russian North's vast water systems, including Lake Ladoga and the Kama Reservoir, while avoiding the direct glare of the sun which sits to the south for most of this eastbound journey.

Lake Ladoga
The southern edge of Europe's largest lake, visible shortly after takeoff from St. Petersburg.
Vologda Taiga
Endless stretches of dense boreal forest that define the landscape of Northern Russia.
Cherepovets Industrial Landscape
A massive industrial complex and steel mills creating a distinct contrast with the surrounding wilderness.
Kama Reservoir
The expansive 'Perm Sea', a massive body of water formed by the damming of the Kama River north of the city.
For the best experience, choose a seat behind the wing to see both the ground and the horizon. This side is superior for photography during the day as the sun will be on the opposite side of the aircraft. In winter, look for the unique patterns of frozen river deltas and the stark white expanse of Lake Ladoga.

St. Petersburg Skyline
A panoramic view of the Neva River, the Lakhta Center, and the city's historic core during takeoff.
Rybinsk Reservoir
Distant views of one of the world's largest man-made lakes to the south of the flight path.
Vologda Churches
Glimpses of historic Russian architecture and golden-domed churches in the rural towns below.
Perm City & Kama Bridge
A view of the city of Perm and its major bridges as the flight aligns for landing at Bolshoye Savino.
The right side is excellent for catching the sunset if you are on an evening flight, though you should bring sunglasses for the initial glare. During the descent into Perm, this side often provides a better view of the city center and the industrial areas along the Kama River. Keep an eye out for the winding Neva River immediately after leaving Pulkovo.
