Moscow Skyline
Excellent views of the sprawling Moscow metropolitan area and the Odintsovo district shortly after takeoff from SVO.
Warsaw Panorama
As the flight crosses Poland, the skyscrapers of the Warsaw city center are often visible to the south.
Sudetes Mountains
Rugged peaks along the Czech-Polish border, including Sněžka, the highest point in the range.
Prague Architecture
The 'City of a Hundred Spires' can often be spotted nestled in the Vltava River valley.
Alpine Horizon
On clear days, the northern rim of the Bavarian Alps appears on the horizon during the final approach phase.
Choose a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat blur. For evening flights, this side catches the golden hour light over the Czech and German landscapes. During winter, look for the snow-capped Sudetes which provide a stark contrast to the surrounding plains.
