Passengers on the right side will likely see the urban skyline of Barnaul and the winding Ob River as the plane climbs to the northeast.
The right side offers a superior view of the sprawling Siberian wetlands, the more rugged northern slopes of the Ural Mountains, and the impressive Kama River reservoirs before descending into Moscow.
The left side offers superior views of the Ob River valley upon departure, a closer perspective of the Southern Ural Mountains, and dramatic lighting conditions during the frequent afternoon and evening westward flights.
