Passengers on the left side will enjoy views of the expanding Andizhan city skyline against the backdrop of the majestic Tien Shan mountain range. The patchwork of fertile Fergana Valley farmland stretches out towards the horizon as the aircraft climbs.
The left side provides the most diverse scenery, ranging from the high-altitude peaks of the Tien Shan to the stark beauty of the Aral Sea basin and the massive curves of the Volga River.
The right side offers the most dramatic views of the high Chatkal mountain range and the rugged peaks of the Western Tien Shan as the aircraft exits the Fergana Valley.
The right side offers superior views of the dramatic Tian Shan mountains shortly after takeoff, followed by expansive views of the Kazakh steppe and a better angle for the Moscow approach.
