MSQ → KRR
Which side of the plane to sit from Minsk National Airport (Minsk 2) to Krasnodar Pashkovsky International Airport (Krasnodar)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides superior views of the Sea of Azov coastline and the dramatic horizon of the Greater Caucasus mountains during the descent into Krasnodar.
Minsk Suburbs
Views of the Drozdy reservoir area and the expanding residential sectors on the southwestern edge of Minsk.
Sea of Azov
A distant but distinct view of the Taganrog Bay and the shimmering waters of the Azov Sea during the southern leg.
Rostov-on-Don
Panoramic view of the major Southern Russian hub and its strategic bridges over the Don River.
Greater Caucasus
On clear days, the snow-capped peaks of the Caucasus Mountains appear on the southern horizon during the approach to KRR.
Essential for evening flights to witness the sunset over the Don basin. Use binoculars or a zoom lens to spot the Caucasus peaks to the south in the final 15 minutes of flight. The agricultural patterns are most vibrant in late spring and early summer.
Minsk Center
Clear aerial views of the Belarusian capital's unique Soviet-era architecture and the National Library if departing toward the east.
Belarusian Woodlands
Dense expanses of pine and mixed forests typical of the Mogilev and Gomel regions near the border.
Don River Valley
The serpentine bends of the Don River as the aircraft traverses the heart of the Russian central plains.
Kuban Steppe
A mosaic of fertile agricultural fields that define the landscape of the Krasnodar Krai approaching the airport.
Choose this side for morning flights to minimize solar glare. It is the best side for observing the urban sprawl of Voronezh mid-flight and the industrial landscape of the northern Kuban region during final descent.
