SVX โ KLV
Which side of the plane to sit from Koltsovo Airport (Yekaterinburg) to Karlovy Vary International Airport (Karlovy Vary)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior perspective of the Ural Mountains upon departure, potential views of the Moscow skyline, and the scenic Ore Mountains during the descent into Karlovy Vary.
Northern Ural Peaks
Distinctive views of the older, weathered peaks of the Urals as the plane turns westward.
Nizhny Novgorod
The striking meeting point of the Volga and Oka rivers, featuring the historic Kremlin on the hill.
Moscow City Silhouette
On clear days, the 'Moscow City' cluster of skyscrapers can be seen rising from the horizon if the flight path tracks north of the capital.
Masurian Lake District
Thousands of small, glinting lakes scattered across Northeastern Poland, especially vibrant in the afternoon light.
Kruลกnรฉ hory (Ore Mountains)
The dramatic ridge defining the Czech-German border, providing a stunning backdrop during the descent into KLV.
The right side is perfect for sunset flights, offering golden hour views over the Polish lakes and the Bohemian landscape. Ensure you are looking out about 20 minutes before landing for the most dramatic mountain scenery near the Czech border.
Southern Ural Foothills
Catch the rolling transitions between the Siberian plains and the ancient Ural range immediately after takeoff.
Volga-Kama Confluence
Expansive views of Russia's largest river systems winding through the Tatarstan region near Kazan.
Bialowieza Forest
Dense, ancient woodland spanning the border of Belarus and Poland, appearing as a deep emerald carpet.
Warsaw Surroundings
The southern suburbs of the Polish capital and the Vistula river snaking through the plains.
Slavkov Forest
A lush protected landscape area just south of Karlovy Vary visible during the final approach.
The left side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct glare, though afternoon flights may experience harsh sun. Keep an eye out for the vast agricultural patchwork of Central Poland which creates a beautiful geometric mosaic in late spring and summer.
