PED → DME
Which side of the plane to sit from Pardubice Airport (Pardubice) to Domodedovo International Airport (Moscow)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is superior for this route as it offers views of the Eagle Mountains upon departure and provides a higher probability of seeing the Moscow skyline, including the 'Moscow City' skyscrapers, during the descent into Domodedovo.

Orlické hory
Dramatic views of the Eagle Mountains' peaks along the Czech-Polish border shortly after departure from Pardubice.
Warsaw Skyline
A distant but distinct view of the Polish capital's high-rise business district when cruising over central Poland.
Zaslavskaye Reservoir
Known as the 'Minsk Sea,' this large body of water north of the Belarusian capital is a prominent landmark mid-flight.
Moscow City Skyscrapers
During the northern approach pattern to DME, the glass towers of Moscow's International Business Center are visible on the horizon.
Book a window seat on the left (Port) side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. This side is particularly rewarding during the final 20 minutes of the flight when the aircraft often maneuvers north of the airport, offering glimpses of the metropolitan sprawl. Look out for the transition from the structured fields of Central Europe to the denser, darker forests of Western Russia.

Iron Mountains
The Železné hory range provides a lush, green landscape view immediately after takeoff from PED.
Lublin Upland
Intricate geometric patterns of traditional Polish agriculture and rolling hills in the southeastern region.
Pripyat Basin
The vast, marshy wetlands of southern Belarus, characterized by winding river tributaries and dense wilderness.
Domodedovo Forest Belt
Extensive stretches of pine and birch forests that surround the southern Moscow region during the final descent.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights if you prefer warmer light on the landscape, though you may face direct sun glare. It offers a more 'wild' view of the Belarusian and Russian landscape, focusing on the vast forest and marsh systems rather than urban centers. Watch for the large industrial complexes located on the southern outskirts of Moscow just before landing.
