Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides a superior view of the majestic Greater Caucasus mountain range and the historic city of Derbent as the flight moves south along the coast.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏔️

Greater Caucasus Range

Stunning views of the eastern Caucasian peaks, featuring rugged terrain and occasional snow-capped summits.

🏰

Derbent Citadel

Look for the ancient Naryn-Kala fortress and the historical Sassanid walls stretching from the mountains to the sea.

⛰️

Shahdag National Park

Marvel at the high-altitude plateaus and dramatic cliffs of the Azerbaijani mountain territories.

🌳

Talysh Mountains

Lush, green forested slopes of the Hyrcanian region appear as you descend into the Lankaran lowlands.

The most dramatic views occur roughly 80 to 100 minutes after departure. Keep your camera ready as you pass the Russian-Azerbaijani border to capture the ancient fortifications of Derbent. Clear weather is most common in late spring and early autumn.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🌊

Caspian Sea Horizon

Enjoy endless views of the world's largest inland body of water as the plane tracks the shoreline.

🏙️

Makhachkala Coastline

See the sprawling capital of Dagestan situated between the Caspian waters and the Caucasian foothills.

🌾

Russian Steppes

Observe the geometric agricultural patterns of the fertile southern Russian plains during the first half of the trip.

⚓

Offshore Infrastructure

Spot oil and gas platforms in the northern Caspian as you approach Azerbaijani airspace.

This side is ideal for morning flights to see the sunrise over the water. It offers a calm, maritime view throughout the second half of the journey. Watch for the transition from the brown steppes to the deep blues of the Caspian.
