Moscow Suburban Belt
Expansive views of the capital's northern satellite cities and dense forest parks shortly after takeoff.
Rybinsk Reservoir
Glimmering views of the massive 'Rybinsk Sea' and the Volga river's upper reaches to the northwest.
Komi Virgin Forests
Aerial perspective of the vast, untouched boreal forests of the Komi Republic, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Northern Ural Mountains
A dramatic crossing over the ancient mountain range, featuring jagged peaks and deep, snow-filled valleys.
West Siberian Lowland
The entry into the world's largest plain, characterized by an intricate lace-like pattern of frozen lakes and marshes.
Choose a window seat on the left for the best morning light during the approach to the North. For flights during the 'White Nights' (late May to July), this side offers stunning sunset colors that linger for hours. Watch closely around 1 hour 45 minutes into the flight for the first glimpse of the Urals.

Meshchera Lowlands
Scenic views of the wooded marshes and peat bogs east of the Moscow region.
Volga River Bend
Deep bends of the Volga river near the cities of Yaroslavl and Kostroma.
Ural Foothills
The gentler, eastern slopes of the Ural range as the plane transitions into Asia.
Ob River Tributaries
Massive, winding river systems like the Poluy and Nadym rivers snaking through the flat landscape.
Gas Field Infrastructure
Visual evidence of the region's energy wealth, including industrial clusters and occasional gas flares near Nadym.
The right side is excellent for seeing the industrial scale of Russia's gas heartland during the descent. If flying in winter, the low sun on this side can create high-contrast shadows that make the river channels and snow dunes pop visually. Ensure your window is clear, as frost often forms on the panes during this cold route.
