Which side of the plane to sit from Vilnius International Airport (Vilnius) to Domodedovo International Airport (Moscow)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior vantage point for viewing the historic center of Vilnius upon departure and provides the most consistent opportunities to see the Moscow city skyline during the descent into Domodedovo.

Vilnius Old Town
A stunning aerial view of the red-roofed UNESCO World Heritage site and the Neris River shortly after takeoff.
Aukštaitija National Park
Vibrant green landscapes dotted with glacial lakes and dense pine forests in eastern Lithuania.
Western Dvina River
The serpentine path of the river as it winds through the northern Belarusian landscape toward Russia.
Moscow City View
On the final approach to DME from the north, the skyscrapers of Moscow City and the Ostankino Tower are often visible on the horizon.
Book a window seat on the left for evening flights; as the plane heads east, you will avoid direct sunlight and potentially catch the Moscow skyline illuminated at night. In winter, the snow-covered forests of Belarus and Western Russia create a beautiful monochromatic landscape.

The right side is best for morning flights if you enjoy seeing the sun rise over the clouds, though glare can be intense. Keep an eye out for the intricate patterns of agricultural fields in rural Russia, which are particularly striking during the autumn harvest or spring thaw.
