DME → OMS
Which side of the plane to sit from Domodedovo International Airport (Moscow) to Omsk Central Airport (Omsk)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers superior lighting for photography on this eastbound route, avoiding direct glare while providing excellent views of the Ural mountain range and the vast Siberian forest expanses.
Moscow Eastern Suburbs
Aerial views of the sprawling residential districts and forested green belts of the Moscow region shortly after takeoff.
The Volga River
Cruising over the massive Volga River near Nizhny Novgorod, where the Oka and Volga meet.
Middle Ural Mountains
Crossing the ancient, forested ridges that mark the natural boundary between Europe and Asia.
West Siberian Taiga
An endless carpet of coniferous forests and marshlands as the plane enters the Asian part of Russia.
Irtysh River Meanders
Intricate loops and oxbow lakes of the Irtysh river system visible during the descent into Omsk.
Sit on the left side to avoid the harsh southern sun and glare. During winter, look for the 'white desert' effect over the frozen Urals. Best views are during morning flights when the sun illuminates the landscape from behind the aircraft.
DME Operations
A clear view of the airport complex and terminal architecture during the initial climb phase.
Agricultural Heartland
The geometric patterns of vast farmland in the Ryazan and Mordovia regions.
Southern Ural Peaks
Distant views of the higher elevations of the Southern Ural mountains under the southern horizon.
Industrial Clusters
The silhouettes of industrial cities like Chelyabinsk may be visible in the distance during clear weather.
Omsk City Skyline
A great view of the city center and the junction of the Om and Irtysh rivers if landing from the south.
This side is ideal for night flights to see the city lights of the southern industrial belt. Be aware that during daytime, the sun will be directly in your window for most of the flight, which can make photography difficult due to reflection.
