Passengers can enjoy expansive views of the city of Stavropol and the rolling hills of the Stavropol Upland, with the distant Caucasus Mountains often visible on the southern horizon during clear weather.
The left side offers a superior view of the snow-capped Greater Caucasus mountains shortly after takeoff and the scenic Princes' Islands during the approach into Istanbul.
The Right Side is preferred primarily for the approach into Moscow, where you are more likely to see the iconic city skyline and the 'Moscow City' skyscraper district if the plane approaches from the east.
The left side is generally preferred for afternoon flights to avoid direct glare while offering views of the Voronezh Reservoir and a superior perspective of the Don River basin.
