Our Recommendation
6.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers superior views of the Voronezh Reservoir upon takeoff and provides a better perspective of the historic Don River bends and the architectural landmarks of Zadonsk and Serpukhov during the descent into the Moscow region.

Left Side Highlights
6.8
🌊

Voronezh Reservoir

A stunning bird's-eye view of the 'Voronezh Sea' and the city's western residential districts immediately after departure.

⛪

Zadonsk Monasteries

Spot the golden domes of the historic Nativity of Mother of God Monastery nestled near the Don River banks.

🌾

Central Russian Upland

Expansive views of the rolling agricultural plains and forest-steppes across the Lipetsk and Tula regions.

💧

Oka River Crossing

A clear view of the wide Oka River valley near Serpukhov as the aircraft enters the Moscow terminal area.

🌲

Southern Moscow Forests

Dense clusters of pine and birch forests characteristic of the Moscow region during the final descent stages.

Choose the left side for the best view of Voronezh's skyline during the initial climb. For photography, afternoon flights are best to avoid the sun's glare, which will be on the right side. During the spring thaw, the Don River's flooding patterns are highly visible from this side.

Right Side Highlights
6.2
🏭

Lipetsk Industrial Zone

A distant but impressive view of the massive Novolipetsk Steel plant and its sprawling industrial landscape.

🛤️

Yelets Outskirts

Aerial perspective of the historic transit town and its significant regional railway infrastructure.

⚡

Kashira Power Station

The prominent cooling towers and chimneys of the GRES-4 power plant near the Oka River bridge.

🏘️

Domodedovo Countryside

A view of the growing suburban developments and dacha communities surrounding the airport area.

✈️

DME Airport Perimeter

Close-up views of the extensive cargo terminals and parked aircraft as the plane lines up with the runway.

The right side is ideal for morning flights to witness the sunrise over the Russian plains. If flying at night, look for the bright orange glow of the Lipetsk steel mills. Ensure your window is clean, as the low sun angle on this side can highlight any streaks or frost.
