Our Recommendation
7.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the higher Southern Ural peaks, the winding Oka river valley, and prominent city views of Omsk and the industrial Kuzbass region.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🛶

Oka River Meanders

Scenic views of the winding Oka river valley and the historic landscapes of the Ryazan region shortly after departure.

🏔️

Southern Ural Peaks

Clear views of the higher, more rugged peaks of the Ural Mountains near the Bashkortostan border compared to the northern tracks.

🌆

Omsk Cityscape

A great perspective of the confluence of the Irtysh and Om rivers and the distinct grid layout of Omsk city.

🌾

Baraba Steppe

A unique mosaic of thousands of small, circular salt lakes and wetlands across the West Siberian Plain.

🏭

Kuzbass Basin

The dramatic industrial landscape, including large-scale open-pit coal mines and factories, during the final approach to Kemerovo.

The right side is best for geographical diversity. Keep your camera ready mid-flight for the Southern Urals, which appear more dramatic than the northern sections. During the descent, the industrial scale of the Kuzbass region is most visible from this side, especially interesting during 'golden hour' when the mine excavations cast deep shadows.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏙️

Moscow Suburbs

Aerial views of the sprawling Moscow metropolitan area and the dense forests of the Moscow Oblast immediately after takeoff.

🌊

Volga River

Crossing the iconic Russian river near the Nizhny Novgorod region, showcasing massive hydroelectric structures and wide deltas.

⛰️

Middle Urals

The ancient, forest-covered ridges of the Ural range marking the geographic border between Europe and Asia.

🌲

Siberian Taiga

An endless green carpet of dense coniferous forest stretching toward the Arctic horizon as you enter Western Siberia.

💧

Ob River

The majestic crossing of one of the world's longest rivers, often visible north of Novosibirsk shortly before the descent begins.

Choose the left side for eastbound overnight or early morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the southern sun. The Ob river crossing is a major landmark usually visible about 40 to 50 minutes before landing in Kemerovo. In winter, the frozen river patterns are exceptionally geometric and photogenic.
