Which side of the plane to sit from Antalya International Airport (Antalya) to Kazan International Airport (Kazan)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of the Turkish Lake District shortly after departure and typically provides more dramatic perspectives of the winding Volga River during the descent into Kazan.
Taurus Mountains
Rugged limestone peaks and deep valleys visible immediately after taking off from Antalya.
Turkish Lake District
Aerial views of the vibrant blue waters of Lake Burdur and Lake Eฤirdir in southwestern Turkey.
Black Sea Expanse
A long segment over the deep blue waters connecting the Anatolian and Russian coasts.
Southern Russian Heartland
The intricate mosaic of agricultural fields and small villages across the Rostov region.
Volga River Bends
Spectacular views of the massive river's curves and forested islands during the final approach.
Book a window seat on the left for morning flights to have the sun behind you. Watch for the 'Lakes Region' about 15 minutes after takeoff. During winter, the frozen Volga provides a striking white contrast against the dark forests of Tatarstan.
Anatolian Plateau
The high-altitude plains of Central Turkey with views of the distant volcanic peak of Mount Erciyes.
Krasnodar Cityscape
The urban sprawl and the Kuban River visible as the flight enters Russian airspace.
Sea of Azov
Glimpses of the shallow sea and the long sandspits characteristic of the Don River delta area.
Saratov Reservoir
Large scale industrial architecture and hydroelectric dams along the mid-Volga corridor.
Kazan Skyline
Views of the Kazan Kremlin's white walls and the Qolลรคrif Mosque if approaching from the south.
Excellent for afternoon or evening flights to catch the sunset over the Russian plains. If the sky is very clear, look far east over the Black Sea to spot the snow-capped peaks of the Greater Caucasus Mountains.
