SVO → BOJ
Which side of the plane to sit from Sheremetyevo International Airport (Moscow) to Burgas Airport (Bourgas)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the descent into Bourgas, featuring the Balkan Mountains and the famous Bulgarian coastline, while avoiding the direct glare of the sun on afternoon flights.

Bryansk Forest Massifs
Dense, deep green forest regions that characterize the borderlands of Western Russia.
Balkan Mountain Range
The northern slopes of the Stara Planina mountains visible as the flight descends toward the coast.
Bulgarian Riviera
Excellent views of Sunny Beach and the coastline north of Bourgas during the final approach.
Bourgas Lake
The Vaya Lake, the largest natural lake in Bulgaria, located right next to the city and airport.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to keep the sun behind the plane. For the best photos of the Bulgarian coast, keep your camera ready during the last 15 minutes of the flight as the plane banks over the Black Sea to align with the runway.
