Our Recommendation
8.5

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.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏔️

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.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🇮🇹

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.
