Pripyat Marshes

The intricate wetlands and river networks of the Polesie region, creating unique natural patterns from above.

Dnieper River Curves

Dramatic views of the Dnieper's wide bends and sandy islands as the plane tracks south toward the capital.

⛪

Kiev Historic Center

The sparkling golden domes of the Pechersk Lavra and the massive Motherland Monument are often visible on the approach.

🌉

Kiev Bridges

Bird's eye view of the iconic bridges connecting the right and left banks of the city over the Dnieper.

The right side is the premium choice for sightseeing. Request a window seat forward of the wing to get an unobstructed view of Kiev's skyline. During sunset flights, the Dnieper River reflects a brilliant orange glow from this side.

A massive artificial sea on the Dnieper River, visible as a vast blue expanse during the descent phase.

Sit on the left for early morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the rising sun. This side provides a great perspective of the vast Kiev Reservoir (the 'Kiev Sea') north of the city during the descent.
