Our Recommendation
7.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for the Carpathian foothills early in the flight and provides a spectacular view of the winding Volga River and the Saratov Reservoir during the final descent.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
⛰️

Beskydy Mountains

Rugged, forest-covered ridges of the Outer Western Carpathians visible shortly after leaving Czech airspace.

🏙️

Kraków

Clear views of the historical Polish city and the Vistula river bend if the southern flight corridor is used.

🌾

Russian Steppe

The transition into the vast, geometric agricultural patterns of the Central Russian Upland.

🏢

Voronezh City

A major urban industrial hub featuring a large reservoir visible from high cruising altitudes.

🌊

The Great Volga

The massive, shimmering river and the iconic Saratov Bridge, one of the longest in Europe, during final approach.

The right side is essential for viewing the Volga River's immense scale. Morning flights are ideal as the sun will be behind you, highlighting the colors of the Carpathian range. During the approach to RTW, keep your camera ready for the Saratov Bridge which connects the city to Engels across the water.

🏰

Prague Historic Center

Aerial views of the Vltava River and the red roofs of the Czech capital immediately after takeoff.

🏔️

Giant Mountains

The snow-capped peaks of the Krkonoše range marking the border between the Czech Republic and Poland.

🏙️

Warsaw Skyline

Distal views of the Polish capital and the Vistula River as the flight moves into Eastern Europe.

🌲

Polesie Marshes

Unique wetland landscapes and dense forest patches across the border of Belarus.

💧

Volgograd Reservoir

The vast northern reaches of the Volga river system as the aircraft begins its descent sequence.

Sit on the left for the best views of the Krkonoše mountains shortly after departure. Opt for a late afternoon flight to catch the soft lighting reflecting off the numerous lakes in northern Poland and Belarus. In winter, the snow-covered Russian plains provide a striking high-contrast landscape.
