Which side of the plane to sit from Domodedovo International Airport (Moscow) to Yemelyanovo Airport (Krasnoyarsk)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior perspective of the rugged Southern Ural peaks and the spectacular Sayan Mountain range on the southern horizon during the approach into Krasnoyarsk.
Kazan and Kama River
Potential views of the white-walled Kazan Kremlin and the massive confluence of the Volga and Kama rivers.
Southern Ural Peaks
More dramatic mountain topography compared to the north, featuring deeper valleys and industrial settlements.
Baraba Steppe
A transition into the agricultural heartland of Siberia, showing a patchwork of fields and grasslands.
Mighty Yenisei
The powerful Yenisei River, one of the world's largest river systems, visible during the final descent.
Sayan Foothills
Stunning views of the jagged mountain peaks to the south as the plane aligns with the runway at Yemelyanovo.
The right side is perfect for evening departures to witness a Siberian sunset over the Urals. During descent into KJA, look south to see the snow-capped Sayan Mountains, which are most visible in clear spring or autumn air.
Moscow Outskirts
Aerial views of the expansive metropolitan area and the circular highway systems shortly after takeoff.
Volga River
The majestic crossing of Russia's longest river, often visible near the city of Nizhny Novgorod.
Central Urals
The forested ridges marking the official geographic border between the European and Asian continents.
Siberian Taiga
An endless emerald sea of dense coniferous forest that dominates the landscape for hours.
Ob River Basin
Complex networks of winding river channels and oxbow lakes characteristic of the West Siberian Plain.
Select the left side for morning flights to enjoy the illuminated taiga without direct sun glare. In winter, this side offers a slim chance of viewing the Aurora Borealis on the northern horizon during night flights.
