Tsimlyansk Reservoir
The flight's main highlight, this enormous 'man-made sea' dominates the horizon mid-flight.
Volga-Don Canal
Look for the southern entrance and the lock systems connecting the two legendary rivers near the destination.
The Motherland Calls
On clear southern approaches, the iconic statue atop Mamayev Kurgan can be spotted overlooking the Volga.
The right side is essential for seeing the Tsimlyansk Reservoir. In winter, the reservoir often freezes over, creating a spectacular white desert appearance. Afternoon flights offer the best lighting for photography of the Volga-Don canal.

Seversky Donets River
The winding curves of the Don's largest tributary are often visible shortly after departure from Platov.
Rostov Steppes
Vast agricultural mosaics creating a geometric patchwork of green and gold across the southern Russian plains.
Northern Volgograd
A panoramic view of the city's long industrial sprawl stretching along the western bank of the Volga.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. This side provides a better perspective of the rural heartland of the Don region and the industrial landscape on the descent into Volgograd.
