Which side of the plane to sit from Platov International Airport (Rostov) to Belgorod International Airport (Belgorod)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the Seversky Donets river basin and the iconic white chalk hills characterizing the Belgorod landscape upon arrival.
Seversky Donets Valley
Lush, forested riverbanks that provide a sharp green contrast to the surrounding golden steppe.
Chalk Hills
The famous white geological formations and quarries near Belgorod, visible during the descent.
Belgorod Skyline
A clear view of the city's modern architecture and cathedrals when approaching from the east.
Regional Reservoirs
Small, sparkling blue reservoirs dotting the landscape between the Rostov and Belgorod regions.
The right side is ideal for the descent phase to capture the unique white cliffs. Late afternoon flights provide the best lighting for the chalk hills, turning them a brilliant gold.
Don River Meanders
Spectacular views of the winding 'Quiet Don' river system shortly after takeoff from Platov.
Rostov Steppe
A massive patchwork of agricultural fields showing vibrant colors that change with the seasons.
Millerovo District
Bird's eye view of the agricultural heartland and regional infrastructure in the northern Rostov region.
Opt for morning flights to avoid the direct southern sun glare. Keep an eye out immediately after takeoff for the complex oxbow lakes of the Don River which are best viewed from the left.
