Which side of the plane to sit from Sheremetyevo International Airport (Moscow) to Stuttgart Airport (Stuttgart)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a more consistent display of major European landmarks, including the cityscapes of Warsaw and Prague, and provides better lighting for photography on westbound flights.

Moscow City District
Aerial view of the 'Moscow City' skyscrapers and the Kremlin during the initial climb out of SVO.
Warsaw Skyline
The Vistula River and the concentrated high-rises of the Polish capital visible during the mid-flight cruise.
Prague Panorama
The red roofs of the 'City of a Hundred Spires' and the Vltava River winding through the Czech capital.
Bohemian Forest
Dense, dark green mountain ranges marking the natural border between the Czech Republic and Germany.
Swabian Jura
The dramatic limestone plateau and rolling hills of Baden-Württemberg during the descent into Stuttgart.
On morning flights, the sun will be on the left side, which can cause glare; however, for midday or afternoon flights, the lighting is ideal. Keep an eye out for the distant silhouette of the Alps to the south when flying over the Czech-German border on clear days.
