Swabian Jura
Dramatic limestone plateaus and steep escarpments shortly after departing Stuttgart.
Nuremberg
The historic Bavarian city with its medieval fortifications and winding river.
Warsaw Skyline
The high-rise towers of Poland's capital are frequently visible during the cruise phase.
Moscow City
The cluster of ultra-modern skyscrapers forming Moscow's iconic financial district.
Luzhniki Stadium
The massive national stadium of Russia, often seen during the final descent pattern.
The right side is highly recommended for the descent into SVO; if the wind dictates a southern approach, you will get a panoramic view of the Kremlin and 'Moscow City' towers. On morning flights, the sun is positioned behind you, reducing window glare for photography.
