Which side of the plane to sit from Sochi International Airport (Sochi) to Zvartnots International Airport (Yerevan)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer stunning views of the Caucasus, the Right Side is superior for the breathtaking reveal of Mount Ararat during the final descent into Yerevan.

Black Sea Coastline
Beautiful views of the Abkhazian and Georgian coast as the plane turns inland from the sea.
Mount Aragats
Armenia's highest peak, an extinct four-peaked volcano, visible shortly before landing.
Mount Ararat
The legendary snow-capped mountain of biblical fame, appearing massive and majestic on the horizon.
Yerevan Basin
The sprawling 'Pink City' and the Hrazdan River gorge as the aircraft lines up with the runway.
The view of Mount Ararat is the highlight of this route; choose a window seat on the right and hope for a clear morning, as the mountain often hides in clouds by mid-afternoon. In winter, the entire landscape from the Black Sea to the Armenian highlands is a stunning white expanse.

Greater Caucasus Range
Uninterrupted views of the jagged, snow-capped peaks separating Russia and Georgia.

A top-down view of the 2014 Olympic mountain cluster immediately after takeoff.
Lake Sevan
The 'Jewel of Armenia' is often visible to the east as the plane prepares for its southern approach.
Lori Highlands
The lush, green canyons and rolling plateaus of northern Armenia near the Georgian border.
Sit toward the front of the cabin to avoid wing obstruction when photographing the Greater Caucasus. Morning flights provide the best lighting for the northern slopes, highlighting the dramatic shadows in the glacial valleys.
