SVODOK

Our Recommendation
7.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides a more scenic perspective of the major river arteries and the dramatic transition from forest-steppe to the industrial Donbas heartland.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🏙️

Moscow Skyline

Detailed view of the capital southern districts and skyscrapers during the initial climb.

🌊

Oka River

Visible sinuous curves of one of Russia largest Volga tributaries carving through the landscape.

🏭

Tula Industry

Aerial perspective of the historic industrial city known for its metallurgy and samovar production.

💧

Voronezh Reservoir

A massive man-made lake on the Voronezh River, shimmering intensely during midday flights.

🌾

Don Steppe

The transition into the vast, open agricultural plains of the southern steppe region.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight. Focus on the Voronezh Reservoir for a mid-flight landmark. In winter, look for the intricate patterns of frozen rivers.

Right Side Highlights

Vnukovo Airport

Clear view of Moscow third major airport and its intersecting runways shortly after takeoff.

⛰️
