Our Recommendation
7.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers superior views of the Greater Caucasus range and Mount Elbrus during the initial climb, followed by excellent perspectives of the Don River and Voronezh.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🏔️

Mount Elbrus

Shortly after takeoff, look back and slightly left to see the iconic twin-peak silhouette of Europe's highest mountain.

🌾

Stavropol Highlands

Aerial views of the fertile agricultural patches and rolling hills of the Stavropol Krai region.

🌊

Don River Bend

The plane crosses the sweeping curves of the Don River, one of Russia's most significant and historic waterways.

🏙️

Voronezh Cityscape

A clear view of the urban sprawl and the large Voronezh Reservoir as the flight progresses north.

🌲

Central Russian Forests

The landscape transitions from open steppe to the dense mixed forests characteristic of the Moscow region.

Book an 'A' seat for the best panoramic views. On morning flights, the sun will be behind you, providing perfectly lit views of the Caucasus mountains. During the winter, the snow-covered steppes provide a striking geometric contrast from above.

Right Side Highlights
6.5
⛰️

Greater Caucasus Line

Distal views of the rugged mountain chain stretching towards the Caspian Sea during the ascent.

🏜️

Caspian Depression Steppes

Views of the flatter, more arid landscapes transitioning toward the Kalmykia region to the east.

🏭

Lipetsk Industrial Hub

Observation of large-scale industrial complexes and steel plants as the flight nears the central federal district.

💧

Oka River

Crossing the Oka River during the final descent into the Moscow region, often near the city of Serpukhov.

🏢

Moscow Suburbs

Detailed views of the growing residential clusters and logistics hubs surrounding Domodedovo Airport.

Choose an 'F' seat if you prefer watching the urban expansion of Moscow during the approach. In the late afternoon, this side experiences direct sunlight, which can make photography difficult but offers beautiful golden hour reflections over the river systems.
