Chao Phraya Delta
Aerial view of the winding river and the sprawling urban landscape of Bangkok shortly after takeoff.
Qilian Mountains
Spectacular snow-capped peaks and glaciers as the flight crosses the Hexi Corridor in China.
Tarim Basin Edge
Distinctive views of the arid, high-altitude desert transitions in Western China.
Altai Mountains
Dramatic mountain scenery where the borders of Russia, Kazakhstan, and Mongolia converge.
Siberian Taiga
Vast, untouched coniferous forests that define the landscape of the Novosibirsk region.
For the most dramatic views, choose the left side on a daytime flight to capture the Altai Mountains. If it is a night flight, you might see the glow of remote Chinese cities along the ancient Silk Road. Use a high shutter speed for mountain photography to account for aircraft vibration.

Lush green mountain ranges and valleys of Northern Thailand and the Laos border region.
Sichuan Basin
Views over the mist-shrouded basins of Central China and the edges of the Yunnan plateau.
Gobi Steppe
The transition from the arid Gobi Desert to the vast, flat Mongolian and Siberian grasslands.
Ob Sea
The massive Novosibirsk Reservoir, especially striking when frozen during the winter months.
Novosibirsk Skyline
A view of the city's industrial heart and the iconic bridges over the Ob River during final approach.
The right side is ideal for catching the sunrise if you are on an overnight flight from Bangkok. During winter, look for the 'white desert' effect of the frozen Ob River. In the summer, the contrast between the green steppe and the blue reservoir is a highlight.
