Our Recommendation
8.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior perspective of the Irtysh and Ob river confluence and the iconic 'Red Dragon' bridge during the final approach into Khanty-Mansiysk.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
✈️

DME Operations

Aerial view of Domodedovo's terminal and runways during the initial climb out.

🏙️

Nizhny Novgorod

Distances views of the confluence of the Oka and Volga rivers near this major industrial hub.

⛰️

Central Ural Foothills

The rolling hills and mining regions of the Perm and Sverdlovsk territories.

💧

Irtysh River Meanders

Mesmerizing silver loops of the Irtysh River as it winds through the Siberian lowlands.

🌉

The Red Dragon Bridge

The famous bright red arch bridge spanning the Irtysh, visible during the final descent.

The right side is essential for the landing approach. Try to book a window seat away from the wing to clearly see the Irtysh-Ob confluence, which is one of the world's great geographic junctions. Morning flights offer better lighting for photography of the Siberian wetlands.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🏙️

Moscow Northern Suburbs

View of the dense urban sprawl and northern orbital roads shortly after takeoff.

🌊

Upper Volga River

The winding path of the Volga River near Yaroslavl and Kostroma is visible mid-flight.

⛰️

North Ural Peaks

Rugged, snow-capped ridges of the northern Ural Mountains dividing Europe and Asia.

🌲

West Siberian Taiga

An endless carpet of dark coniferous forest stretching toward the Arctic horizon.

🛶

Ob River Floodplains

Intricate patterns of oxbow lakes and wetlands formed by the massive Ob River system.

Sit on the left for the best views of the Northern Urals' higher elevations. In winter, the landscape is a stark, beautiful white; in summer, look for the 'white nights' effect if flying late, as the sun barely sets in these northern latitudes.
