SVO β BRU
Which side of the plane to sit from Sheremetyevo International Airport (Moscow) to Brussels Airport (Brussels)?
Left Side of the Plane
The Left Side provides the most iconic urban views, including the Moscow skyline upon departure, the historic center of Warsaw, and a scenic approach into Brussels' European Quarter.
Moscow Skyline
Shorty after takeoff from SVO, enjoy panoramic views of the Kremlin and the Moscow City skyscraper district to the south.
Warsaw Old Town
Clear views of the Vistula River and the meticulously reconstructed historic center of the Polish capital.
Harz Mountains
The northernmost mountain range in Germany, featuring the Brocken peak and dense ancient forests.
Cologne Cathedral
The massive twin spires of the KΓΆlner Dom are often visible when tracking over the Rhineland.
Brussels City Center
Depending on wind direction, the final approach offers views of the Grand Place and the Palais de Justice.
Request a seat behind the wing to ensure the engine doesn't block the view of Moscow's 'Seven Sisters' during the initial climb. For winter flights, the low sun angle on the left side provides excellent contrast for photographing snow-covered Polish plains.
Baltic Coastline
Distant views of the Gulf of Gdansk and the sandy spits of the Pomeranian coast to the north.
Berlin Metropolis
The sprawling German capital, easily identified by the Fernsehturm (TV Tower) and Tiergarten park.
Elbe River
Watch for the wide, shimmering curves of the Elbe as it flows through Northern Germany toward Hamburg.
Ruhr Valley
A dense network of cities and industrial heritage sites forming one of Europe's largest urban areas.
Port of Antwerp
One of the world's largest seaports, visible as a massive geometric puzzle of docks and container ships on approach.
The right side is ideal for spotting the industrial heart of Europe. On night flights, the Ruhr Valley lights up in a spectacular grid. In summer, the late sunset to the north-west makes the Baltic coast sparkle during the middle segment of the flight.
