SVOKRR

Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers the most iconic views of the Moscow city center upon departure and superior positioning to see the Voronezh reservoir and the vast agricultural patterns of the Southern Russian heartland.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏙️

Moscow Skyline

Unmatched views of the Kremlin, Moscow City skyscrapers, and the Luzhniki Stadium shortly after takeoff from SVO.

🌊

Oka River

The winding blue curves of the Oka River as the flight crosses the border of the Moscow and Tula regions.

🏢

Voronezh Reservoir

A massive man-made sea cutting through the center of Voronezh city, clearly visible during mid-flight.

🌻

Kuban Steppes

Infinite geometric patterns of sunflower and wheat fields that define the fertile landscapes of Southern Russia.

For the best experience, choose a window seat in front of the wing to avoid engine heat distortion. On evening flights, this side catches the golden hour light reflecting off the Moscow River and the southern reservoirs. Keep your camera ready in the first 10 minutes of flight for the capital's panorama.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🌲

Central Russian Upland

A scenic mosaic of dense forests and rolling hills typical of the Kaluga and Tula provinces.

🛶

The Mighty Don

Frequent sightings of the Don River as it meanders through the landscape toward the Sea of Azov.

🚜

Rostov Plains

Vast agricultural estates and rural settlements that showcase the scale of Russian farming.

🚤

Krasnodar Reservoir

Views of the 'Kuban Sea' and the winding Kuban River as the aircraft begins its final approach into KRR.

The right side is the 'cool' side for morning flights, as you will be facing away from the direct rising sun. It is particularly scenic during the winter months when the snow-covered agricultural fields create a stark, beautiful minimalist landscape. Look out for the massive industrial complexes near Tula early in the flight.
