Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the vast Kyzylkum Desert and the dramatic snow-capped Alay Mountains during the final approach into the Fergana Valley.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🛣️

Volga-Don Region

Expansive views of the agricultural heartland of Southern Russia and the great Volga river system.

🏜️

Kyzylkum Desert

The 'Red Sand' desert of Central Asia, featuring striking longitudinal dunes and vast empty spaces.

🕌

Turkestan Region

Flying over the historical crossroads of the Silk Road near the border of Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan.

🏔️

Alay Mountains

Breathtaking views of the high, snow-capped Alay Range that forms the southern rim of the Fergana Valley.

🚜

Fergana Oasis

The sudden transition from desert to the lush, irrigated agricultural patchwork of the Fergana Valley.

The right side provides the most dramatic scenery during the final 30 minutes of flight. The Alay Mountains are best viewed in the morning light to avoid the glare of the afternoon sun. Sit behind the wing to capture the intricate patterns of the desert dunes and the mountain ridges.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏙️

Moscow Outskirts

The urban sprawl of the Russian capital fading into the dense forests of the Moscow region.

🌊

Volga River Bend

Aerial view of Russia's longest river as the flight path crosses near the Saratov region.

🏜️

Northern Aral Steppe

The desolate but colorfully textured landscapes of the northern Aral Sea basin in Kazakhstan.

💧

Syr Darya River

The winding blue ribbon of the Syr Darya cutting through the arid Central Asian plains.

🏔️

Chatkal Range

The rugged northern peaks of the Tien Shan mountains visible during the descent into Fergana.

The left side is best for viewing the northern ridges of the Tien Shan. During winter months, the contrast between the white peaks and the valley floor is stunning. Aim for a window seat away from the wing for the best photography of the river systems.
