Which side of the plane to sit from Sheremetyevo International Airport (Moscow) to Simferopol International Airport (Simferopol)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a superior vantage point for the Moscow skyline upon departure and the visually striking salt lagoons of the Syvash when entering the Crimean Peninsula.

Moscow City
Panoramic views of the International Business Center skyscrapers and the central urban core if taking off to the south.
Russian Heartland
A vast geometric patchwork of agricultural fields stretching across the Tula and Voronezh regions.
Syvash Lagoons
The 'Rotten Sea' offers surreal, colorful landscapes of shallow salt marshes and pinkish mineral deposits.
Crimean Steppe
The dramatic transition from the northern isthmus into the wide, sun-drenched plains of northern Crimea.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights, though the sun may be direct; use a window shade if needed. It offers the most unique geological views of the Crimean salt lagoons during the descent. Try to sit forward of the wing for the best photography of the Syvash's intricate patterns.

Dense urban sprawling and the expansive forested patches surrounding the capital's southern ring.
Don River Basin
The majestic, winding curves of the Don River as it flows through the fertile southern Russian plains.
Sea of Azov
Shimmering views of the shallowest sea in the world as the flight passes its northeastern coastline.
Arabat Spit
A glimpse of the incredibly long, narrow sandy spit separating the Sea of Azov from the Syvash.
Sit on the left for early morning flights to witness the sunrise over the Azov coast. Mid-cabin seats are preferred to avoid wing obstruction of the winding river systems.
