Which side of the plane to sit from Vnukovo International Airport (Moscow) to Venice Marco Polo Airport (Venice)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the majestic Dolomites during the descent and is the preferred side for a high-probability view of the historic Venice city center and its canals during the final approach to Marco Polo Airport.

Moscow City Skyline
A distant but clear view of the Federation Tower and Moscow's International Business Center if the flight departs towards the north.
Bohemian Massif
The dense forests and rolling hills of the border region between Czechia, Austria, and Germany.
The Dolomites
Dramatic, jagged limestone peaks of the Italian Alps, offering some of the most spectacular mountain scenery in Europe.
Historic Venice
Unmatched views of the Grand Canal, St. Mark's Basilica, and the iconic red roofs of the floating city during the landing pattern.
The right side is essential for the iconic 'Venice from above' photo. Request a seat ahead of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Dolomites. Note that if the aircraft lands on Runway 04R, you will pass directly over the city; keep your camera ready about 5-10 minutes before touchdown.

Moscow Suburbs
The sprawling urban landscape and forest belts of the Odintsovo district immediately after takeoff from VKO.
High Tauern Range
Glaciated peaks of the Austrian Alps, including views toward the Grossglockner massif in the distance.
Adriatic Horizon
The vast blue expanse of the Northern Adriatic Sea as the aircraft begins its final descent into the Veneto region.
Lido di Venezia
The long, narrow sandbar separating the central Venetian Lagoon from the Adriatic Sea.
Sit on the left for softer lighting during morning flights, as the sun will be behind you for much of the southward journey. During the final approach, the left side provides a great perspective of the Chioggia area and the southern lagoon's salt marshes.
