Which side of the plane to sit from Pula Airport (Pula) to Domodedovo International Airport (Moscow)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides an exceptional vantage point for the Istrian coast, the vastness of Lake Balaton, and the dramatic High Tatra mountain range.
Kvarner Gulf
Stunning aerial views of the Croatian islands and the blue Adriatic immediately after takeoff.
Lake Balaton
A massive, shallow turquoise lake in western Hungary, easily spotted from high altitudes.
High Tatra Mountains
The highest range in the Carpathian Mountains, offering jagged peaks and glacial valleys.
Pripyat Marshes
Intricate river systems and wetlands forming a complex natural mosaic across Belarus.
Moscow Outskirts
The final descent into Domodedovo offers views of Russia's dense birch forests and suburban expansion.
The right side is the clear winner for the initial climb out of Pula, offering views of the Istrian peninsula. Keep your camera ready about 45 minutes in for Lake Balaton and roughly halfway for the Tatra Mountains. During winter, the snowy landscapes of the Tatras and Belarus are particularly striking.
Julian Alps
Distant views of Slovenia's snow-capped peaks shortly after reaching cruising altitude.
Budapest Skyline
The Danube River and the historic architecture of the Hungarian capital are visible to the north.
Bialowieza Forest
One of the last and largest remaining parts of the immense primeval forest that once stretched across Europe.
Minsk Area
The sprawling urban center of the Belarusian capital surrounded by vast plains.
Choose the left side for morning departures to have the sun behind you. This side offers better views of the Northern European Plain and major city centers if the flight path shifts north. Look for the Danube's curve as you pass Hungary.
