Moscow Cityscape
Upon departure from SVO, enjoy views of the Russian capital's northern districts and the impressive 'Seven Sisters' skyscrapers.
Warsaw & Vistula River
A clear view of the Polish capital's modern skyline and the winding path of the Vistula River as you cross central Poland.
High Tatra Mountains
Stunning jagged peaks and glacial lakes on the border of Poland and Slovakia, often visible in high detail from cruising altitude.
The Danube River
The historic blue river comes into view as the flight path passes near the outskirts of Vienna and the Lower Austrian plains.
Eastern Austrian Alps
Dramatic limestone ridges and snow-capped peaks provide a majestic backdrop as the aircraft begins its descent into the Balkans.
Book a window seat ahead of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Tatras. Morning flights are ideal to avoid the harsh afternoon sun glare when facing south. During winter, look for the 'white-out' effect on the Alpine peaks which is particularly spectacular from this side.
