Moscow Skyline
On a clear day, the skyscrapers of Moscow City are visible to the north shortly after takeoff from Vnukovo.
Vazuza Reservoir
The sprawling water systems of the Smolensk region reflecting the sky during the mid-flight segment.
Neris River Meanders
The winding river path that leads directly toward the heart of the Lithuanian capital.
Vilnius Old Town
Aerial views of the iconic red-roofed historic center, Gediminas Tower, and the Vilnius Cathedral during descent.
For the best experience, sit on the right to catch the Vilnius city panorama during the final approach, especially when landing on Runway 19. Evening flights are particularly beautiful as the city lights and the setting sun illuminate the Neris River. Keep your camera ready about 15 minutes before landing for the best urban shots.

A geometric patchwork of agricultural fields and rural villages throughout the Vitebsk and Grodno regions.

This side offers peaceful views of the Belarusian plains and the southern reaches of the Aukstaitija region.
