Which side of the plane to sit from Sheremetyevo International Airport (Moscow) to Lennart Meri Tallinn Airport (Tallinn-ulemiste International)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the Russian river systems, the dramatic border crossing at Narva, and a stunning approach along the Estonian northern coastline over the Gulf of Finland.
Volga River
Aerial views of the upper reaches of the Volga River near the historic city of Tver.
Narva Fortresses
The unique sight of the Russian Ivangorod and Estonian Narva fortresses facing each other across the river.
Gulf of Finland
The deep blue expanse of the Baltic Sea opens up as the flight tracks along the northern coast.
Lahemaa National Park
Aerial perspective of Estonia's largest national park, featuring jagged peninsulas and rocky bays.
Tallinn TV Tower
A clear view of Estonia's tallest structure standing prominently near the coast during the final descent.
The right side is highly recommended for the coastal approach. For evening flights, the sunset over the Baltic Sea provides a spectacular backdrop. On very clear days, you may even spot the coast of Finland across the water.
Moscow Outskirts
Bird's eye view of the northern suburban sprawl and transition into the vast Russian forests.
Lake Peipus
One of the largest lakes in Europe, serving as the natural border between Russia and Estonia.
Estonian Bogs
Vibrant patches of wetlands and dense pine forests characteristic of the Estonian landscape.
Tartu Region
The southern Estonian countryside, dotted with small towns and university city outskirts.
Sit on this side for a front-row view of Lake Peipus. However, be aware that on afternoon flights, the sun will be on this side, which can cause significant glare and make photography difficult.
