Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side is significantly more scenic as it tracks closer to the majestic Himalayan, Karakoram, and Pamir mountain ranges during the middle segment of the journey.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🏔️

Himalayan Range

Stunning long-distance views of the snow-capped Himalayan peaks stretching across the northern horizon.

❄️

Karakoram & Pamirs

Direct views of some of the world's most rugged and high-altitude terrain across Pakistan and Tajikistan.

💧

Aral Sea Basin

The unique and colorfully textured landscapes of the receding Aral Sea and the surrounding Central Asian steppes.

🌲

Russian Taiga

The transition from the arid plains of Kazakhstan into the vast, dark green forests of central Russia.

The right side is the definitive choice for mountain enthusiasts. Aim for a seat forward of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Karakoram peaks. Most flights on this route are overnight or daytime; for daytime flights, the lighting on the mountains is best during the midday portion of the trip.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏙️

Bangkok Skyline

A sprawling view of the Chao Phraya River and the dense urban architecture of Bangkok immediately after takeoff.

🌊

Bay of Bengal

The vast coastline of Myanmar and the intricate islands of the Andaman Sea during the initial climb.

🏜️

Thar Desert

The golden expanse and rolling sand dunes of the Great Indian Desert stretching toward the horizon.

🚢

Volga River

The wide, historic Russian waterway as the aircraft begins its descent toward the Moscow region.

Choose the left side for afternoon flights to enjoy views of the sunset over the horizon. However, be aware that the sun may be intense on this side for several hours. This side offers better views of the Ganges Delta early in the flight if the weather is clear.
