Vilnius Old Town
A stunning perspective of the red-roofed UNESCO World Heritage site immediately after takeoff.
Border Infrastructure
Clear views of the heavily monitored transit corridors and checkpoints between the EU and Belarus.
Minsk City Panorama
A wide-angle view of the Belarusian capital's unique blend of Stalinist Empire architecture and modern high-rises.
Loshitsa Park
A sprawling historical estate on the southern edge of Minsk, visible during the landing pattern.
The right side is ideal for evening flights to catch the sunset over the Belarusian plains. As the flight is very short, keep your camera ready from the moment of take-off, as the plane reaches cruising altitude almost immediately.

Pavilnys Regional Park
Aerial views of the Vilnia River valley and the steep erosion gullies near Vilnius.
Medininkai Highlands
Rolling hills near the border, featuring the historical 14th-century Medininkai Castle enclosure.
Zaslavskoye Reservoir
Large water body known as the 'Minsk Sea,' often visible during the final approach phase.
Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. This side is better for spotting the dense forested areas of the Aukštaitija region before crossing into Belarus.
