VNO → KUT
Which side of the plane to sit from Vilnius International Airport (Vilnius) to Kopitnari Airport (Kutaisi)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of the majestic Greater Caucasus Mountains during the descent into Georgia, including potential sightings of Mount Elbrus, the highest peak in Europe.
Vilnius Aerial View
Catch a glimpse of the historic Old Town and the Neris River shortly after departure from VNO.
Eastern Carpathian Mountains
Aerial perspectives of the rugged, forested peaks of the Romanian and Ukrainian Carpathians.
Black Sea Northern Coast
A long stretch of the coastline where the deep blue of the sea meets the edge of Eastern Europe.
Greater Caucasus Range
Dramatic, snow-capped peaks forming a natural wall between Europe and Asia as you enter Georgian airspace.
Mount Elbrus
On clear days, the twin peaks of the highest mountain in Europe are visible in the distance to the north.
Sit on the left for the most dramatic mountain scenery during the final 30 minutes of the flight. For early morning flights, this side will be in the shade, which is perfect for photography without glare. Look for the massive snowfields of the Greater Caucasus as the plane begins its descent into the Colchis Lowland.
High Tatra Mountains
Distinctive jagged peaks along the border of Poland and Slovakia visible in the early flight stage.
Danube River Delta
The intricate network of waterways where the Danube meets the Black Sea, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Black Sea Horizon
An expansive view of the open sea and the sun reflecting off the water during midday flights.
Lesser Caucasus Mountains
Softer, greener mountain ranges visible to the south as the aircraft approaches Kutaisi.
Rioni River Valley
The lush green plains surrounding Kutaisi, one of the oldest inhabited areas in the world.
The right side is ideal for capturing the sunset if flying in the late afternoon. It provides a better view of the Danube Delta's unique geography. Be aware that the sun will be directly hitting this side for much of a southbound journey, so keep your window shade ready if the glare becomes too intense.
