Which side of the plane to sit from Pulkovo Airport (St. Petersburg) to Voronezh International Airport (Voronezh)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior lighting for photography on southbound flights and provides a panoramic view of the Voronezh Reservoir and city center during the final approach descent.
Pulkovo Heights
The strategic high ground south of St. Petersburg, offering views of the airport complex and southern suburbs.
Northwest Woodlands
Continuous stretches of dense taiga and mixed forests that dominate the landscape between the Leningrad and Tver regions.
Oka River Basin
Dramatic river bends and fertile floodplains as the aircraft crosses the major waterway near the Kaluga border.
Voronezh Reservoir
Commonly known as the 'Voronezh Sea,' this massive body of water divides the city and provides a stunning backdrop for landing.
The right side is the prime choice for evening flights, offering spectacular sunset views over the Russian plains. During the descent into Voronezh, the right side usually provides the best angle of the city's 'left bank' and the sprawling reservoir. Seasonal note: In winter, the frozen rivers and snow-covered forests create high-contrast geometric patterns.
St. Petersburg Panorama
Aerial view of the Neva River delta, the Gulf of Finland, and the city's historic center immediately after takeoff.
Lake Ilmen
A vast, shallow lake near Veliky Novgorod, appearing as a shimmering silver disk on the horizon.
Valdai Hills
The highest point of the Central Russian Upland, characterized by dense forests and hidden glacial lakes.
Lipetsk Industrial Hub
Massive steel production facilities and industrial grids visible as the flight enters the Chernozem region.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct southern sun. This side is ideal for spotting the historic core of St. Petersburg if the plane departs towards the north before turning south. Keep an eye out for the distinctive circular shape of Lake Ilmen approximately 20 minutes into the flight.
