Moscow City View
Distant but recognizable views of the Federation Tower and the Moscow skyline during the initial ascent.
Rybinsk Reservoir
Often called the Rybinsk Sea, this massive body of water is a highlight of the flight's midpoint.
Sheksna River
The major waterway connecting the Volga to the Baltic, visible during the final descent into Cherepovets.
Severstal Industrial Park
A massive industrial complex that creates a dramatic contrast with the surrounding natural landscape.
The Right Side is essential for seeing the Rybinsk Reservoir; in winter, it appears as a vast, white desert of ice. Try to book a seat ahead of the wing to get an unobstructed view of the Severstal steel plant during landing.

Moscow Oblast Greenery
Dense pine and birch forests typical of the central Russian landscape immediately after takeoff.

Aerial views of the winding Volga river as it snakes through the Tver region.
