High Tatras
The highest range of the Carpathian Mountains offers dramatic granite peaks shortly after departing Prague.
Russian Steppe
A massive patchwork of fertile agricultural land known for its 'Black Earth' and rolling plains.
Samara Bend
A spectacular 180-degree loop of the Volga River as it flows around the scenic Zhiguli Mountains.
Southern Ural Ridge
The ancient, weathered peaks that mark the traditional geographic boundary between Europe and Asia.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to see the High Tatras illuminated by the sun. Keep your camera ready roughly 45-60 minutes before arrival at Chelyabinsk to catch the Samara Bend, one of Russia's most famous geographic landmarks.

Warsaw Vistas
Aerial views of the Vistula River and the sprawling metropolitan area of the Polish capital.
Moscow Northern Perimeter
Glimpse the northern outskirts and the vast canal systems connecting the Russian capital to the north.
Kama River Basin
Observe the massive widening of the Kama River, one of the most significant tributaries in Eurasia.
Ural Taiga
An endless carpet of dense coniferous forest stretching toward the horizon as you approach the mountains.
Sit on the left side to avoid direct southern sun glare during midday flights. Watch for the massive reservoirs of the Kama River about two-thirds into the journey, which are particularly striking when frozen in winter or during the golden hour of a summer evening.
