Prague Panorama
Aerial view of the Vltava River and the historical spires of Prague shortly after takeoff.
Warsaw Distance
Views of the Polish capital and the Vistula River as the flight traverses Central Europe.
The Volga Bend
Dramatic views of the widest points of the Volga River near Kazan.
Kama River
The winding path of the Kama River, a major tributary that defines the landscape before the Urals.
Ural Foothills
The dense forests and rising terrain marking the boundary between Europe and Asia.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the harsh southern sun. This side is particularly rewarding during the mid-flight segment over Russia, where the massive scale of the river systems is most visible. Watch for the change in vegetation as you move from the temperate forests of Central Europe to the taiga of the Urals.

Rugged peaks along the Czech-Polish border visible during the initial climb.
Russian Steppe
Intricate agricultural patterns and vast open fields across the Central Russian Upland.
Yekaterinburg Skyline
Excellent views of the city's modern skyscrapers and the Iset River during the final descent.
Southern Ural Forest
Expansive views of the dense evergreen forests that surround the Sverdlovsk region.
The right side is ideal for the arrival phase, as the aircraft often patterns over Yekaterinburg city center before landing. If flying in winter, the frozen landscape and snow-covered forests provide a stark, beautiful contrast. Use polarized sunglasses to reduce glare from the sun reflecting off the vast plains.
