Which side of the plane to sit from Domodedovo International Airport (Moscow) to Osh Airport (Osh)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the sprawling Kyzylkum Desert and the dramatic approach into the Fergana Valley, featuring the jagged Alay Mountains to the south as you descend into Osh.
Saratov & Volga
Views of the twin cities Saratov and Engels connected by their iconic bridges over the Volga.
Kyzylkum Desert
The striking red sands and arid landscapes of the Great Kyzylkum Desert in Southern Kazakhstan.
Syr Darya River
Following the winding course of one of Central Asia's most vital and historic rivers.
Tashkent Panorama
Distant views of the Uzbek capital's urban area before the flight turns toward the Fergana Valley.
Alay Mountains
Spectacular, rugged peaks of the Pamir-Alay system visible during the final descent into Osh.
The right side is the 'money' side for the final 30 minutes of the flight. The approach into Osh often provides a stunning view of the Sulayman Mountain (a UNESCO site) and the towering Alay range to the south. During late afternoon flights, the desert landscape below takes on deep orange and red hues.
Moscow Outskirts
Aerial views of the dense urban sprawl and forested areas surrounding Domodedovo upon departure.
Volga River Bend
Cruising over the massive Volga River, Europe's longest river, near the Samara Reservoir.
Kazakh Steppe
The vast, seemingly endless grasslands of Northern and Central Kazakhstan stretching to the horizon.
Chatkal Mountain Range
Snow-capped peaks of the Western Tien Shan appearing as the flight enters Kyrgyz airspace.
Fergana Valley North
The patchwork of agricultural fields and dense settlements in the northern part of the fertile valley.
The left side is ideal for morning flights to see the sunrise over the Russian plains. As you approach Osh, look for the 'Celestial Mountains' of the Tien Shan. For the best photography, choose a seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze when capturing the mountain peaks.
