Moscow Outskirts
Aerial view of the expanding Moscow metropolitan area and its dense forest belt shortly after takeoff.
Volga River Crossing
The flight crosses Russia's most famous river near the confluence with the Oka river by Nizhny Novgorod.
Ural Mountains
The ancient mountain range marking the geographic border between Europe and Asia, featuring weathered peaks and dense forests.
Ob River Basin
Intricate patterns of oxbow lakes and winding waterways across the flat West Siberian Plain.
Endless Taiga
A deep green carpet of coniferous forest that stretches to the horizon as you enter Central Siberia.
Bratsk Reservoir
Known as the 'Bratsk Sea,' this massive man-made lake offers stunning turquoise views during the landing approach.
Most flights to Bratsk are overnight; the left side faces North/North-East, meaning you avoid the direct glare of the rising sun. Look for the massive river patterns about 3 hours into the flight. In winter, the frozen reservoir looks like a marbled white desert.

Views of the major industrial hubs near Yekaterinburg and the sprawling manufacturing complexes of the region.
Siberian Sunrise
On red-eye flights, the right side offers a front-row seat to a dramatic sunrise over the vast eastern horizon.
Angara River
The powerful river flowing out of Lake Baikal, winding through the rugged Siberian terrain toward the dam.
Bratsk Dam Area
The massive scale of the hydroelectric infrastructure is often visible depending on the specific landing pattern.
If you enjoy sunrise photography, this is the side to be on. Keep an eye out for the industrial lights of Siberian cities if the sky is clear during the middle of the flight. Be prepared for high-contrast lighting in the morning hours.
