Immediate view of the colossal Mamayev Kurgan monument if the plane departs to the north or turns west.

A massive man-made sea on the Don River that dominates the horizon for a large portion of the flight.
Don River Meanders
Spectacular serpentine loops of the Don River as it winds through the limestone hills.
Rostov Cityscape
A panoramic view of the Rostov-on-Don urban sprawl and the river delta during the descent into Platov.
Request a window seat forward of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of Mamayev Kurgan shortly after takeoff from VOG. Morning flights are ideal for the right side as the sun will be behind the aircraft, illuminating the Tsimlyansk Reservoir's blue waters.
