Venice Historic Center
An unparalleled view of St. Mark's Square, the Grand Canal, and the Doge's Palace immediately after takeoff from Marco Polo Airport.
Julian Alps
The sharp, limestone silhouettes of Triglav National Park in Slovenia visible shortly after reaching cruising altitude.
Vienna Outskirts
Views of the Danube River and the eastern edges of the Austrian capital as the flight heads northeast.
Minsk Metropolis
The symmetrical, radial urban planning of the Belarusian capital is a distinct landmark during the final third of the journey.
For the iconic Venice view, request a window seat on the right (Seat F). Ensure your camera is ready immediately upon takeoff, as the turn over the lagoon happens quickly. On evening flights, the right side offers a spectacular view of the 'Golden Hour' light reflecting off the Russian river systems during the descent into Vnukovo.

Austrian High Alps
Panoramic views of the Hohe Tauern range and glacier-capped peaks like the Grossglockner to the north.
Brno Cityscape
A clear view of the historic Spilberk Castle and the urban layout of the Moravian capital.
Warsaw Skyline
The dense cluster of skyscrapers in the Polish capital is often visible during the mid-flight segment.
Russian Boreal Forests
Vast expanses of deep green taiga and meandering river systems as the flight approaches the Moscow outskirts.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare while viewing the Alps. This side provides excellent views of the high Alpine ridges in Austria. During the winter months, the snow coverage on the Czech and Polish plains creates a beautiful high-contrast landscape.
