VOZVKO

Our Recommendation
7.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the Voronezh Reservoir upon takeoff and provides a much better chance of seeing the distant Moscow City skyline during the descent into Vnukovo.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
🌊

Voronezh Reservoir

Massive 'Voronezh Sea' provides a stunning reflective surface immediately after takeoff from VOZ.

🏗️

Lipetsk Steelworks

One of the world's largest steel plants is visible, recognizable by its vast industrial footprint.

💧

Oka River

A major geographic landmark crossing near Serpukhov, marking the transition into the Moscow Oblast.

🏙️

Moscow City Skyline

On clear days during the descent, the skyscrapers of the Moscow International Business Center appear on the horizon.

🌲

Meshchersky Park

Large forest parks near the airport providing a green contrast to the urban sprawl during final landing.

The right side is best for morning flights as the rising sun illuminates the landscape. Keep your camera ready during the final 10-15 minutes; if the wind dictates a northern approach, you will get the best view of the Moscow skyscrapers.

Left Side Highlights
6.5
🏞️

Don River Meanders

Aerial view of the meandering Don River valley and its floodplains shortly after departure.

🏭

Tula Cityscape

The historic industrial city of Tula is visible as you transit north through the Central Russian Upland.

🌳

Yasnaya Polyana

The sprawling forested estate of Leo Tolstoy can be spotted just south of Tula.

🏘️

Podolsk Suburbs

Densely populated residential areas and industrial zones marking the approach to the Moscow metropolitan area.

Choose the left side for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. This side is ideal for spotting the natural curves of the Don River and the historical landscapes of the Tula region.
