Mount Aragats
Shortly after takeoff from Gyumri, view Armenia's highest massif with its four jagged peaks.
Mount Elbrus
The star of the flight; the iconic double-coned dormant volcano and highest point in Europe.
Kuban River
The winding blue artery of the Krasnodar region cutting through the fertile southern plains.
Voronezh City
Clear views of the large Voronezh Reservoir and the sprawling industrial city layout.
Moscow Green Belt
Dense birch and pine forests typical of Central Russia appearing during the descent.
Sit on the left for the best chance to see Mount Elbrus clearly. Early morning flights are ideal as the rising sun illuminates the western faces of the Caucasus Mountains. Keep your camera ready about 20-30 minutes after departure for the high-altitude mountain peaks.
