Which side of the plane to sit from Beslan Airport (Beslan) to Domodedovo International Airport (Moscow)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of the majestic Greater Caucasus mountains shortly after takeoff and typically provides a better perspective of the Moscow skyline during the approach to Domodedovo.
Greater Caucasus Range
Dramatic views of the snow-capped peaks and deep valleys immediately after departure from Beslan.
Mount Elbrus
On clear days, Europe's highest peak is visible in the distance to the west during the initial climb.
Don River Basin
The winding path of the Don River as it cuts through the fertile plains of the Voronezh region.
Voronezh Cityscape
Aerial view of the city and the large Voronezh Reservoir bisecting the urban area.
Moscow City View
As the plane turns for its final approach, the skyscrapers of Moscow City are often visible on the horizon.
Book a seat in front of the wing for unobstructed views of the Caucasus. Morning flights are ideal as the sun illuminates the mountains from the east, highlighting the relief. During the winter, the contrast between the white peaks and the dark valleys is particularly striking.
Caspian Steppe
The vast, flat agricultural landscapes of the North Caucasus region stretching toward the horizon.
Black Earth Region
Geometric patterns of Russia's most fertile industrial farmlands between Lipetsk and Tula.
Oka River Forests
Dense mixed forests and smaller river networks as you enter the Moscow Oblast.
Industrial Tula
Distant views of the industrial complexes and historical urban layouts of the Tula region.
The right side is excellent for early morning flights to see the sunrise over the vast Russian plains. It offers a more serene, rhythmic landscape view. If landing to the north, the right side may offer views of the suburban expansion and forests surrounding the airport.
