Moscow Skyline
Aerial views of the Moscow outskirts and the dense forests of the Podmoskovye region shortly after takeoff.
Kazakh Steppes
Vast, undulating grasslands and remote settlements across the heart of Central Asia.
Himalayan Horizon
On clear days, the northern horizon reveals the distant, jagged white peaks of the world's highest mountain range.
Ganges River
The intricate, silver threads of the holy Ganges river winding through the fertile plains of northern India.
Annamite Range
Dense, mist-covered tropical rainforests and rugged mountains as you cross from Laos into Vietnam.
For the best experience, choose a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. Since this is a long-haul flight often departing in the evening, the left side provides a spectacular sunrise view over the Bay of Bengal and South Asia during the mid-flight phase.

Kyzylkum Desert
The striking 'Red Sand' desert of Uzbekistan, featuring unique dune patterns and arid topography.
Aral Sea Basin
The stark and haunting landscape of the receding Aral Sea and the vast salt flats left in its wake.
Gulf of Thailand
Glimpses of turquoise coastal waters and tropical islands as the flight path skirts the southern Thai coast.
Mekong Delta
A patchwork of emerald rice paddies and the sprawling brown distributaries of the Mekong River on final approach.
Saigon Urban Sprawl
The dense, vibrant cityscape of Ho Chi Minh City, featuring the winding Saigon River and Bitexco Tower.
The right side is ideal for travelers interested in the geography of the Mekong Delta during the descent. If the flight arrives during the daytime, the contrast between the brown river waters and the vibrant green rice fields is most vivid from this side of the aircraft.
