Which side of the plane to sit from Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport (Nice) to Domodedovo International Airport (Moscow)?
Left Side of the Plane
The Left Side offers the most dramatic views of the High Alps, including a prime vantage point for Mont Blanc, and typically provides a better angle for the Moscow skyline during the final descent.
The Bay of Angels
Breathtaking departure views of the Nice coastline and the Promenade des Anglais as the plane climbs.
Mont Blanc
Clear views of Europe's highest peak and the jagged snow-capped ridges of the French and Swiss Alps.
Lake Geneva
The massive crescent-shaped lake and the surrounding Swiss cities are often visible during the cruise phase.
Prague
The historic center and Vltava river in the Czech capital can be seen from high altitude depending on the airway.
Warsaw Skyline
Aerial perspective of the Polish capital's modern skyscrapers and the widening Vistula river valley.
Moscow City
The futuristic skyscrapers of the Moscow International Business Center often appear on the horizon during descent.
Book a window seat ahead of the wing for unobstructed photography of the Alps. On morning flights, the sun will be behind you, providing perfectly lit landscapes. During winter, look for the stark contrast of snow-covered forests in Belarus and Russia.
French Riviera
Views of the luxury yachts in Antibes and the Lérins Islands immediately after takeoff from NCE.
Southern Alps
Distant views toward the Italian border and the high peaks of the Gran Paradiso National Park.
Lake Constance
The large alpine lake bordering Germany, Switzerland, and Austria is a major landmark on this route.
Bavarian Countryside
Neat agricultural patterns and small villages characteristic of Southern Germany and the Munich region.
Eastern European Forests
Vast, uninterrupted stretches of deep green pine forests as you cross into the Russian plains.
The Right Side is excellent for evening flights as the setting sun illuminates the Alpine peaks with a golden glow. Keep an eye out for the thermal power plants and industrial landscape on the outskirts of Moscow as you approach Domodedovo.
