Which side of the plane to sit from Ignatyevo Airport (Blagoveschensk) to Vladivostok International Airport (Vladivostok)?
Right Side of the Plane

Amur River Border
The natural liquid border between Russia and China, often showing contrasting urban development on either side.
Lake Khanka
The largest freshwater lake in the region, appearing as a massive blue mirror on the horizon.
Amur Bay Coastline
Stunning views of the Sea of Japan's rugged coastline as the plane begins its final descent into VVO.
De-Kastri Bridges
If the approach route passes over the northern bay, you may spot the Low-Level Bridge spanning the water.
The right side is iconic for the 'Two Countries' view during takeoff from Blagoveschensk. On the descent into Vladivostok, sit here to see the Amur Bay. Request a window seat forward of the wing to ensure the engine doesn't block the view of Lake Khanka.

Sikhote-Alin Taiga
Dense, ancient temperate forests covering the rugged mountain ranges of the Russian Far East.
Central Sikhote-Alin
Aerial views of this UNESCO World Heritage site, known for its high biodiversity and jagged peaks.
Ussuri River Valley
The major tributary of the Amur, creating fertile green valleys and complex wetland patterns.
Sit here if you prefer the deep wilderness of the Siberian taiga. This side is better for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the southern sun. Look for the snow-covered peaks of the Sikhote-Alin range from October through May.
