Which side of the plane to sit from Minsk National Airport (Minsk 2) to Khrabrovo Airport (Kaliningrad)?
Right Side of the Plane
Due to current flight path restrictions, the route takes a northern 'U-turn' over the Baltic Sea. The right side offers superior views of the Gulf of Finland, the Russian-Estonian border lakes, and the spectacular Curonian Spit during the final approach.

Lake Peipus
The massive transboundary lake between Russia and Estonia, visible as the flight heads north before turning west.
Gulf of Finland
Deep blue waters and busy shipping lanes connecting the Baltic Sea to the Port of St. Petersburg.
Curonian Spit
A stunning UNESCO World Heritage site consisting of a 98km long sand-dune spit that separates the lagoon from the Baltic Sea.
Sambian Peninsula
