Our Recommendation

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers superior views of the Moscow urban sprawl upon departure and the majestic Volga River as you approach Volgograd, including the massive Volzhsky Dam.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏙️

Moscow Cityscape

Panoramic views of the capital's skyscrapers and the Ostankino Tower during the initial climb from Sheremetyevo.

🌊

Oka River

A prominent crossing over one of Russia's largest rivers south of the Moscow region.

🌾

Central Russian Upland

A patchwork of vast agricultural fields and small forests characterizing the heart of European Russia.

🏗️

Volzhsky Hydroelectric Station

One of Europe's largest dams, visible as the plane aligns for its final descent into Volgograd.

🛶

Volga River Meanders

Stunning views of the massive river and its numerous islands and backwaters near the destination.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct glare while capturing the sun reflecting off the Volga. Look out approximately 15 minutes before landing to see the industrial scale of the Volzhsky district and the river's width.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🌲

Khimki Forest

Dense green belts surrounding the northern suburbs of Moscow immediately after takeoff.

💧

Upper Don River

The winding path of the historic Don River visible in the distance during mid-flight.

🌅

Steppe Horizons

The transition from forested plains to the arid, golden steppe landscape of the Volgograd region.

✈️

Gumrak Approach

A clear view of the surrounding flat terrain and the airport infrastructure during the final turn.

The right side is ideal for evening flights to catch the sunset over the Russian steppe. During the descent, keep an eye out for the Don-Volga canal route visible in the distance to the west.
