Which side of the plane to sit from Verona Villafranca Airport (Villafranca) to Domodedovo International Airport (Moscow)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides an unparalleled view of the jagged Dolomite Alps shortly after departure, followed by excellent perspectives of major Central European cities like Prague and Warsaw.
The Dolomites
Spectacular jagged limestone peaks of the Italian Alps visible shortly after takeoff.
Prague
The historic 'City of a Hundred Spires' often appears as the flight crosses the Czech Republic.
Warsaw
Aerial views of the Vistula River and the modern skyscraper cluster in the Polish capital.
Belarusian Lowlands
A massive patchwork of forests and agricultural fields stretching across the heart of Belarus.
Choose the left side for morning flights to get direct sunlight on the mountain peaks. Watch closely about 15 minutes after takeoff for the transition from the Italian plains to the high Alps. Clear winter days offer the most dramatic views of the snow-covered European interior when the landscape is most contrasted.
Verona Cityscape
A beautiful overview of the historic Roman architecture of Verona immediately after departure.
Hohe Tauern
The highest peaks of the Austrian Alps, including glaciated ridges and high-altitude lakes.
Minsk
The sprawling geometric layout of the Belarusian capital is often visible to the south of the flight path.
Russian Taiga
Dense birch and pine forest belts appearing as the plane begins its descent into the Moscow region.
The right side is preferable for evening flights to witness the sunset across the European horizon. During the final approach into Domodedovo, look for the sprawling suburban development and dense forest belts surrounding Moscow. Keep an eye out for the Eastern Alps approximately 30 minutes into the flight for the best glaciated scenery.
