Kazakh Steppes
Endless horizons of golden and green grasslands that define the Central Asian heartland.
Ural River
The historic boundary between Europe and Asia appears as a winding silver ribbon below.
Zhiguli Mountains
Scenic limestone cliffs and forested hills forming the famous Samara Bend on the Volga River.
Samara Cityscape
A clear view of one of Russia's largest cities and its massive aerospace industrial complexes.
Oka River Valley
Picturesque riverbanks and rural Russian landscapes as you approach Domodedovo Airport.
The right side is the 'money side' for this route. Specifically look for the Samara Bend about mid-flight; it is one of the most recognizable landmarks in Russia. In winter, the frozen Volga creates stunning geometric patterns. For the best lighting on the landscapes, choose a morning flight to have the sun behind you.

Karatau Range
Visible shortly after takeoff, these ancient mountains offer rugged, jagged terrain against the Kazakh sky.
Aral-Karakum Desert
Vast expanses of arid plains and salt flats characterize this portion of the flight over Kazakhstan.
Saratov Reservoir
A massive widening of the Volga River providing a deep blue contrast to the surrounding agricultural plains.
Tambov Region
The landscape shifts into the fertile Black Earth region of Russia with organized agricultural patterns.
Meshchera Forests
Dense woodland and marshy areas visible as the aircraft enters the Moscow Oblast during descent.
Sit on the left if flying during the late afternoon to catch the sunset over the Russian horizon. This side is also better for spotting the Karatau mountains immediately after departure from DMB. Keep an eye out for the distinct salt crusts of the northern desert regions early in the flight.
