Which side of the plane to sit from Belbek Airport (Sevastopol) to Domodedovo International Airport (Moscow)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the dramatic Crimean mountain range upon takeoff, followed by the unique turquoise lagoons of the Sivash and the winding path of the Don River.
Crimean Mountains
Stunning views of the limestone peaks and dense forests characterizing the southern coast.
Sivash Lagoons
The 'Rotten Sea' offers unique patterns and varied colors from the shallow, salt-rich waters.
Sea of Azov
Glimpses of the shallowest sea in the world and its characteristic sandy spits and coastal marshes.
Don River Basin
The fertile lands and winding curves of one of Russia's major river systems during the mid-flight segment.
Voronezh Reservoir
A clear view of the large reservoir and the urban expansion of Voronezh city.
Choose the right side for morning flights to keep the sun behind the aircraft for better photography. The primary highlight is the transition from the Crimean mountains to the unique Sivash lagoons roughly 15-20 minutes after departure.
Sevastopol Coastline
Breathtaking views of the Black Sea and the rugged cliffs near the airport upon initial climb.
Simferopol Cityscape
Aerial perspective of the Crimean capital's layout and its central transit hubs.
East European Plain
Vast expanses of agricultural fields and patchworks of rural farmland stretching toward the horizon.
Tula Region
Sightings of the historic industrial city known for its ancient kremlin and heavy manufacturing.
Sit on the left for the best sunset views if flying in the evening. Keep your camera ready immediately after takeoff for the Sevastopol harbor views, but be mindful that the afternoon sun may cause glare on this side.
