Which side of the plane to sit from Domodedovo International Airport (Moscow) to Khabarovsk-Novy Airport (Khabarovsk)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is the superior choice for this transcontinental journey, offering a prime view of Lake Baikal and the best perspective for the sunrise over the Russian Far East.

Yenisey River
Crossing the powerful Yenisey River near Krasnoyarsk, one of the largest river systems flowing to the Arctic.
Lake Baikal
The crown jewel of the flight; looking south, you can see the massive blue crescent of the world's deepest lake.
Far East Sunrise
A stunning sunrise that occurs quickly due to the high eastward ground speed and crossing multiple time zones.
Bureya Range
The rugged, snow-dusted peaks of the Russian Far East visible during the descent into Khabarovsk.
Amur River Bridge
The iconic Khabarovsk Bridge, featured on the 5,000 ruble note, is often visible on the final approach.
Khabarovsk City
A great view of the city layout and the confluence of the Amur and Ussuri rivers before landing.
Sit on the right side for the absolute highlight of the trip: Lake Baikal. It usually appears about 5 to 5.5 hours into the flight. Because you are flying east against the sun, the 'night' is very short; expect the sun to rise rapidly just as you reach Eastern Siberia. Use a high shutter speed for photos of the Amur River during the descent to capture the bridge clearly.

Moscow Outskirts
Aerial views of the Moscow metropolitan area and the dense forests surrounding the capital shortly after takeoff.
Ural Divide
The northern stretch of the Ural Mountains, marking the geographical boundary between Europe and Asia.
Ob River Delta
Views of the massive Ob river system as it winds through the vast Western Siberian Lowlands.
Tunguska Basin
The remote and mysterious taiga of Central Siberia, famous for its untouched wilderness.
Northern Lights
During winter night flights, the left side provides the best opportunity to spot the Aurora Borealis to the north.
The left side is ideal for those who want to sleep, as it faces away from the rising sun. During the winter months, keep your window shade open and eyes peeled for the Aurora Borealis over the Arctic horizon. This side also offers a better view of the northern tundra landscape if the flight path shifts north of the typical route.
