Our Recommendation
8.7

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a front-row seat to the Arctic frontier, featuring the dramatic transition from the Northern Urals to the icy shores of the Laptev Sea, with high chances of Aurora sightings during winter flights.

Left Side Highlights
8.7
🏔️

Northern Urals

Ancient mountain peaks marking the geographic border between Europe and Asia.

❄️

Yamal Peninsula

The 'End of the Earth,' a landscape dotted with thousands of shimmering thermokarst lakes.

🧊

Taymyr Peninsula

The northernmost reach of the Eurasian mainland, often locked in permafrost.

🌊

Laptev Sea Coast

Spectacular views of fractured sea ice and the rugged, desolate Arctic coastline.

🌌

Aurora Borealis

In winter months, the north-facing windows provide the best view of the Northern Lights.

For flights during the winter season (October-March), the left side is essential for viewing the Aurora Borealis. In summer, the 'Midnight Sun' effect keeps the Arctic landscape visible throughout the night. Keep your window shade down during the middle of the flight to reduce glare if trying to spot the aurora.

Right Side Highlights
8.3
⛰️

Putorana Plateau

A UNESCO-listed wilderness of flat-topped basalt mountains and deep canyons.

🛶

Lena River Basin

The intricate, silver threads of one of the world's longest river systems snaking through the taiga.

🏔️

Verkhoyansk Range

Jagged, snow-capped peaks located in the 'Pole of Cold,' the coldest inhabited region on Earth.

🌲

Kolyma Highlands

Vast stretches of uninhabited mountain wilderness and dense Siberian taiga forest.

⚓

Anadyr Estuary

The dramatic meeting of the Anadyr River and the Bering Sea during the final descent.

This side is superior for geological enthusiasts. The Putorana Plateau and Verkhoyansk Mountains are breathtaking during daylight hours. Since the flight travels East, the sun will rise on the right side of the aircraft; bring sunglasses if you have a window seat for the morning arrival in Anadyr.
