Which side of the plane to sit from Indira Gandhi International Airport (Delhi) to Sheremetyevo International Airport (Moscow)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides an unparalleled front-row seat to the majestic Karakoram and Pamir mountain ranges shortly after departure, offering some of the most dramatic alpine scenery on earth.
Karakoram Peaks
On clear days, see the towering snow-clad summits of the world's second-highest mountain range.
Pamir Mountains
Fly over the 'Roof of the World' with its deep valleys and high-altitude plateaus.
Fergana Valley
A lush, green contrast to the surrounding mountains, spanning Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan.
Moscow Skyline
Depending on the approach pattern, catch glimpses of the Seven Sisters skyscrapers in the distance.
Russian Taiga
Endless stretches of birch and pine forests that characterize the landscape of central Russia.
Book a seat in the front or rear of the cabin to avoid the wing blocking the mountain views. For the best experience, choose a morning departure from Delhi when the sun illuminates the eastern faces of the Himalayas and Pamirs, providing incredible photographic depth.
Kyzylkum Desert
Witness the vast, undulating red sand dunes of Central Asia stretching toward the horizon.
Caspian Sea
The western coastline of this massive inland sea often glimmers under the afternoon sun.
Volga River Delta
View the intricate web of waterways where Europe's longest river meets the sea.
Ryazan Oblast
Traditional Russian landscapes with dense forests and historic rural settlements.
Opt for the left side on evening flights to enjoy spectacular sunsets over the Caspian Sea. During the winter, look for the unique patterns of ice forming along the northern shores of the water bodies.
