DMEKJA

Our Recommendation
8.2

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.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🕌

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.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🏙️

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.
