Kama River Meanders
Directly after takeoff from Perm, witness the massive Kama River winding through the industrial landscape.
Izhevsk Industrial Hub
Glimpse the capital of Udmurtia, famous for its engineering history, visible to the south.
Nizhny Novgorod Confluence
A spectacular view of where the blue Oka joins the mighty Volga at the city's historic 'Strelka'.
Vladimir Skyline
On the final approach descent, spot the white-stone cathedrals of one of Russia's oldest cities.
Moscow Eastern Suburbs
As the plane banks for SVO, see the dense urban grid and high-rises of the Moscow metropolitan area.
Choose the left side (Port) for the best chance of seeing the Nizhny Novgorod Kremlin and the river junction. For evening flights, this side faces south/southwest, offering vibrant sunset colors across the wing. Avoid seats directly over the wing (rows 12-22 on most A320s/B737s) to ensure an unobstructed view of the river systems.

Vast Russian Taiga
Enjoy endless views of the dense mixed forests typical of the Kirov and Kostroma regions.
Gorky Reservoir
Also known as the 'Gorky Sea,' this massive artificial lake on the Volga appears as a wide blue expanse.
Agricultural Patchwork
Observe the transition from deep forest to the organized fields of the Central Russian Upland.
Sheremetyevo North
Get a clear view of the northern terminals and cargo areas during the final landing phase.
The right side (Starboard) is ideal for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun, making it easier to photograph the forest landscapes. Keep an eye out for the Gorky Reservoir about halfway through the flight, which is the most significant water feature on this side.
