Khimki Forest
Dense green canopy surrounding the Sheremetyevo area immediately visible upon departure.
Vitebsk Lake District
A beautiful cluster of glacial lakes scattered across the northern Belarusian landscape near the border.
Aukštaitija National Park
As you enter Lithuanian airspace, view the ancient forests and interconnected lake systems of the east.
Neris River Meanders
The silver ribbon of the Neris River becomes visible as it winds toward the Vilnius city center during the final descent.
This is the 'cool' side for photography as it faces north, away from the sun's glare. During the final 20 minutes of the flight, the terrain becomes much more scenic with the transition from Belarusian plains to Lithuanian highlands.

On afternoon flights, the sun will be directly on this side, making it quite bright and potentially hot. Close the window shade during the mid-flight cruise but open it during departure to see the sprawling Moscow suburbs.
