Our Recommendation
8.4

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for the approach into St. Petersburg, providing views of the Gulf of Finland, the historic Kronstadt naval base, and the city's iconic skyline upon landing.

Right Side Highlights
8.4
🌅

Mid-Atlantic Sunrise

Due to the eastbound direction, passengers on the right witness the sun rising over the horizon during the ocean transit.

🇮🇪

Celtic Sea

Possible views of the southern coast of Ireland and the approach into the European continent.

🇩🇰

Danish Isles

Scenic crossing over the islands of Denmark and the Great Belt Bridge connecting the Baltic and North Seas.

🏰

Kronstadt Fortress

The historic island city and naval base in the Gulf of Finland during the final descent phase.

🏙️

St. Petersburg Skyline

Spectacular views of the Neva River, the Lakhta Center, and the city's historic core when landing from the west.

This is the preferred side for the 'arrival show.' As the aircraft descends into Pulkovo, the right side typically faces the city, offering a panorama of the Gulf of Finland. In winter, look for the striking patterns of frozen sea ice in the Baltic.

Left Side Highlights
7.6
🏝️

Turks and Caicos

Aerial views of the vibrant turquoise shallows and coral reefs of the British Overseas Territory shortly after takeoff.

🌊

North Atlantic Great Circle

Vast ocean perspectives during the high-altitude crossing, often featuring complex cloud formations and deep blue waters.

🏔️

Scandinavian Mountains

If following a northern trajectory, glimpse the rugged peaks and snowy plateaus of southern Norway.

🇸🇪

Swedish Lakeland

The dense forests and scattered blue lakes of the Swedish countryside before crossing the Baltic Sea.

Sit in the forward section of the cabin to avoid the wing for the best Caribbean photography. Monitor the flight map as you enter European airspace; if the route stays north, you will have the best angle for the Norwegian coast and the Stockholm archipelago.
