Our Recommendation
7.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers superior views of major urban centers including the departure from Prague, the skyline of Warsaw, and the iconic skyscrapers of Moscow on the final approach.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🏰

Prague Old Town

Unmatched views of the Vltava River, Charles Bridge, and the red-roofed cityscape during the initial climb.

🏙️

Warsaw Skyline

The modern skyscrapers and the historic Palace of Culture and Science in the Polish capital.

🏢

Minsk Cityscape

The structured Soviet-era architecture and expansive parks of the Belarusian capital from cruising altitude.

💎

Moscow City District

The cluster of ultra-modern glass skyscrapers on the horizon as the flight prepares for landing.

🗼

Ostankino Tower

The distinctive needle-shaped TV tower and the sprawling northern Moscow suburbs during the descent.

Request a window seat on the right for the best urban landmarks. On approach to SVO, if the flight path comes from the west, look south to see the 'Seven Sisters' Stalinist skyscrapers and the brightly lit Kremlin area during evening flights.

Left Side Highlights
6.5
🛶

Elbe River Basin

The winding Elbe river and the lush agricultural plains of Central Bohemia shortly after takeoff.

💧

Masurian Lake District

Glacial lakes in Northern Poland shimmering in the sun, forming a complex blue and green mosaic.

🌲

Bialowieza Forest

Aerial view of one of Europe's last remaining primeval forests straddling the Polish-Belarusian border.

⚓

Khimki Reservoir

The large water body adjacent to Sheremetyevo Airport visible during the final moments of descent.

The left side is ideal for afternoon flights as it faces north, avoiding direct sun glare. It provides a more tranquil landscape view of the vast European plains and the dense forest regions of Eastern Europe.
