Which side of the plane to sit from Domodedovo International Airport (Moscow) to Ganja Airport (Ganja)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic crossing of the Greater Caucasus mountain range, featuring snow-capped peaks and the sprawling Mingachevir Reservoir during the final descent into Ganja.

Don River Basin
The winding path of the Don River and the vast steppes of southern Russia.
Greater Caucasus Peaks
Spectacular panoramic views of the main Caucasus ridge, often including views of Mount Elbrus and Mount Kazbek in the distance.
Alpine Glaciers
High-altitude glaciers and permanent snowfields visible as you cross the highest parts of the mountain range.
Mingachevir Reservoir
The massive 'Sea of Azerbaijan,' the country's largest body of water, becomes a prominent landmark just north of Ganja.
The right side is the definitive choice for afternoon flights, as the sun illuminates the northern slopes of the Caucasus mountains. The most dramatic views occur roughly 30-40 minutes before landing, so keep your window shade up as you cross the Russian-Azerbaijani border.

Moscow Southern Sprawl
Aerial views of Moscow's southern suburbs and the dense forests surrounding Domodedovo during the initial ascent.
Central Russian Heartland
The geometric patterns of the fertile agricultural belts in the Voronezh and Lipetsk regions.
Caspian Sea Horizon
On clear days, the shimmering horizon of the Caspian Sea is visible to the east as you fly over the Dagestan border.
Eastern Caucasus Ridges
The rugged, arid foothills of the eastern Caucasus range as the aircraft enters Azerbaijani airspace.
Choose the left side for morning departures to enjoy the soft sunrise light over the Russian plains. This side is also better for spotting the Caspian coastline if the flight path takes a more easterly vector through Makhachkala.
