Which side of the plane to sit from Tbilisi International Airport (Tbilisi) to Dnipropetrovsk International Airport (Dnepropetrovsk)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior panorama of the Greater Caucasus' highest peaks, including Mount Elbrus, followed by a dramatic transition over the Black Sea and the scenic Dnieper River delta.
Tbilisi Cityscape
Aerial views of the Kura River, Old Tbilisi, and the Narikala Fortress shortly after takeoff.
Greater Caucasus Peaks
Breathtaking views of the high-altitude snow-capped summits, including the double-coned Mount Elbrus.
Black Sea Coast
A long stretch of the turquoise coastline near Gagra and Sochi as the plane turns northwest.
Dnieper River Delta
The intricate network of wetlands and channels where the Dnieper meets the Black Sea near Kherson.
Southern Steppes
Vibrant agricultural patterns of the fertile Ukrainian plains stretching toward the horizon.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct eastern sun glare. The highlight is Mount Elbrus; it appears roughly 20-30 minutes after takeoff. Ensure a window seat clear of the wing for the best view of the Dnieper river system during the descent.
Russian Caucasus
Views of the northern slopes of the mountain range descending into the Stavropol Krai plains.
Sea of Azov
The shallow, greenish-blue waters of the Sea of Azov and the long sandspits characteristic of the region.
Zaporizhzhia Industry
Large-scale industrial complexes and the massive Dnieper Hydroelectric Station visible during the northern approach.
Kakhovka Reservoir
The vast expanse of the reservoir, appearing like an inland sea before the final descent into Dnipro.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights as the sun will be behind you, illuminating the Ukrainian landscape perfectly. Look for the unique sandspits of the Azov Sea mid-flight. During the final approach into DNK, the Dnieper River will dominate the view.
