Our Recommendation
7.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides a dramatic view of Rostov-on-Don shortly after takeoff and follows the scenic course of the Don River for a significant portion of the journey.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
🏙️

Rostov-on-Don

A magnificent bird's-eye view of the city, its bridges, and the Don-Arena stadium shortly after ascending.

〰️

Don River Bends

The flight path often aligns with the river, showing deep blue curves against golden or green seasonal banks.

💧

Voronezh Reservoir

A massive man-made body of water visible as a silver ribbon on the horizon during the mid-flight phase.

🏭

Lipetsk Steelworks

Look for the sprawling industrial infrastructure and massive scale of one of Russia's largest metallurgical plants.

🌲

Moscow Forest Belt

As you approach Domodedovo, the steppe gives way to the dense, dark green pine and birch forests of the Central Federal District.

Morning flights offer the best illumination of the Don River valley without sun glare. The view of Rostov-on-Don is most prominent within the first 10 to 15 minutes of takeoff if the path heads northeast.

Left Side Highlights
6.2
🌊

Taganrog Bay

Witness the northernmost part of the Sea of Azov with its unique coastal formations right after departure.

🌾

Southern Steppes

Observe the endless agricultural mosaics of the Rostov region stretching toward the Ukrainian border.

🏰

Tula Outskirts

Glimpse the industrial and historical landscape of the Tula region as the plane begins its descent into the Moscow basin.

Sit on the left for evening flights to catch the sunset over the vast Russian plains. During winter, look for the intricate patterns of frozen rivers like the Mius and Seversky Donets.
