SVO → MIA
Which side of the plane to sit from Sheremetyevo International Airport (Moscow) to Miami International Airport (Miami)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the high-latitude wonders, including the massive Greenland ice sheet and the rugged northern wilderness of Canada, followed by a scenic approach over the Everglades.
Scandinavian Mountains
Aerial views of the jagged peaks and deep fjords of Norway as the flight crosses into the Atlantic.
Greenland Ice Sheet
Breathtaking vistas of the world's second-largest ice body, featuring deep blue meltwater lakes.
Baffin Island
Rugged Arctic landscapes, frozen inlets, and massive glaciers in the Canadian territory of Nunavut.
Canadian Wilderness
The vast, untouched boreal forests and lake-strewn terrain of northern Quebec and Ontario.
The Everglades
The unique 'River of Grass' wetland ecosystem visible during the approach into Miami International.
This side is ideal for photographers. The northern trajectory provides indirect lighting, making the textures of the Greenland ice and Arctic mountains pop. Greenland usually appears 4 to 5 hours after departure; check your flight tracker to ensure you don't miss this highlight.
Moscow Outskirts
Views of the sprawling Moscow metropolitan area and the Khimki Forest shortly after takeoff.
Baltic Sea Coast
The transition from Russia into the Baltic region, often passing near the Estonian and Swedish coasts.
Cape Farewell
The southern tip of Greenland, featuring dramatic icebergs and sharp coastal peaks.
East Coast Megalopolis
Distant but visible views of the US Atlantic coastline, including the New York and DC corridors.
Biscayne Bay
Turquoise waters and the barrier islands of Florida during the final descent into Miami.
On this westward journey, the left side faces south, meaning you will have direct sun for much of the flight. Use the window shade to prevent glare during the mid-flight crossing, but keep it open during the final hour to see the Florida coastline and the Atlantic reefs.
