Our Recommendation
7.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior view of the sprawling northern Russian forests and a better angle of the Ural Mountains' transition into the West Siberian Plain.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🏙️

Moscow Outskirts

Views of the southeastern Moscow suburbs and the dense forest belts surrounding the capital shortly after takeoff.

🌊

Volga-Kama Basin

Spectacular views of the winding Kama River, one of Russia's most significant waterways, near the city of Perm.

⛰️

Middle Ural Mountains

The geographic boundary between Europe and Asia, featuring ancient, weathered peaks and deep green valleys.

🌲

Vast Siberian Taiga

An endless horizon of coniferous forests that characterize the entry into the Asian part of the continent.

☁️

West Siberian Plain

The remarkably flat topography of the world's largest lowland as you descend into the Tyumen region.

For the best visibility of the Ural range, aim for a window seat ahead of the wing. The mountain crossing usually occurs around 1 hour and 20 minutes into the flight. During winter, the contrast between the dark taiga and white snow creates a striking geometric pattern. Evening flights are particularly beautiful as the sun sets behind the aircraft, illuminating the Siberian rivers in gold.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🛶

Oka River Curves

Scenic meanders of the Oka River and the rural landscapes of the Ryazan region early in the flight.

🏭

Industrial Landscapes

View of the heavy industrial zones near the Urals, showcasing Russia's 'Rust Belt' architecture from above.

🏞️

Ural Foothills

The southern slopes of the Middle Urals, often showing a mix of mining quarries and dense forests.

🚜

Agricultural Transition

The patchwork of fields in the Tatarstan and Bashkortostan border regions before the terrain becomes wilder.

The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the direct northern sun glare. Keep an eye out for the industrial plumes of the Ural cities which serve as a landmark for the halfway point. In winter, look for the 'ice roads' visible on frozen reservoirs and rivers.
