VAR → DME
Which side of the plane to sit from Varna Airport (Varna) to Domodedovo International Airport (Moscow)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers expansive views across the Black Sea early in the flight and provides better angles for the winding Don River and the lush forests of the Moscow region.
Black Sea Horizon
Panoramic views of the deep blue waters and the distant coastal contours of the Crimea.
Caucasus Foothills
On clear days, the distant peaks of the Caucasus Mountains can be glimpsed on the far horizon.
Don River Meanders
The famous loops and fertile valleys of the Don River as the flight tracks north.
Meshchera Forests
Dense evergreen and deciduous forests typical of the Moscow Oblast during final descent.
The right side is ideal for evening flights to catch the sunset reflecting off the Black Sea. Keep your camera ready for the dramatic river loops in the Voronezh and Lipetsk regions which are highly photogenic from high altitude.
Bulgarian Coastline
Striking views of the Golden Sands and the rugged Dobruja plateau shortly after takeoff.
Danube Delta
Aerial perspective of the vast wetland network where the Danube meets the Black Sea.
Voronezh Reservoir
A massive artificial lake and the skyline of Voronezh visible during the mid-flight cruise.
Moscow Suburbs
Distant views of the growing urban sprawl and industrial parks on the approach to DME.
Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. This side is better for spotting the intricate patterns of the river deltas and the industrial landscape of Southern Russia.
