🏢

Moscow Skyline

Shortly after takeoff from SVO, enjoy views of the city's unique architecture including the 'Seven Sisters' and Moscow City towers.

⛪

Golden Ring Towns

Excellent views over ancient settlements like Vladimir, known for its white-stone medieval architecture.

⚓

Nizhny Novgorod Confluence

The stunning visual of the Oka River merging into the massive Volga River, a major landmark on this route.

🚢

Kama River Basin

During descent, the wide and powerful Kama River dominates the landscape, signaling the approach to Perm.

🏭

Ural Industrial Landscapes

Observation of the sprawling industrial complexes that characterize the gateway to the Ural Mountains.

Book a window seat on the right for the best sunset views on evening flights. The confluence at Nizhny Novgorod is a highlight that occurs roughly 40-50 minutes into the flight. Use the river systems as your primary navigation landmarks, as they are most prominent from this side.

🌲

Northern Taiga

Vast stretches of dense evergreen forests that define the landscape of the Kostroma and Kirov regions.

🌊

Upper Volga Bends

Glimpses of the winding upper reaches of Europe's longest river as it snakes through the northern plains.

🏙️

Kirov Cityscape

A distant view of the industrial and cultural hub of the Kirov Oblast during the mid-flight cruise.

🛤️

Trans-Siberian Railway

Spotting the iconic rail tracks that parallel parts of the flight path through the Russian heartland.

Snow-Covered Steppe

In winter months, the landscape transforms into a pristine white canvas with geometric forest patterns.

Sit toward the front of the cabin for the clearest views of the northern horizon. During morning flights, this side is shaded, making it ideal for photography without harsh glare. Watch for the dramatic change in terrain as the flat plains begin to roll slightly upward near the Urals.
