Which side of the plane to sit from Domodedovo International Airport (Moscow) to Termez Airport (Termez)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers the most dramatic views of the shifting landscape, from the lush Russian plains to the stark beauty of the Kyzylkum Desert and the unique aerial perspective of the receding Aral Sea coastline.
Don River Basin
The wide, meandering curves of the Don River as the flight traverses southern Russia.
Aral Kum Desert
The white salt flats and ship graveyards of the former Aral Sea bed, visible as a stark white landscape.
Kyzylkum Sands
Mesmerizing red sand dunes and ancient dry riverbeds across the central Uzbek desert.
Amu Darya River
The historic Oxus River which marks the international border between Uzbekistan and Afghanistan.
Termez Approach
A close-up view of the 'Friendship Bridge' connecting Uzbekistan to Afghanistan just before touchdown.
This is the 'frontier' side. For the best experience, book an afternoon flight to see the desert dunes glow in orange and red. Ensure you have a window seat clear of the wing to spot the Amu Darya river, which is the primary landmark when landing at Termez.
Moscow Cityscape
Aerial views of the southern Moscow metropolitan area and the Oka River shortly after takeoff.
Russian Heartland
Vast stretches of organized agricultural fields across the Lipetsk and Voronezh regions.
Syr Darya Delta
The intricate network of the Syr Darya river as it flows toward the eastern remains of the Aral Sea.
Hissar Range
On clear days during the descent, the snow-capped peaks of the Pamir-Alay system are visible to the east.
Choose this side for night flights to avoid the glare of the setting sun. During morning flights, expect bright direct sunlight. The views of the Surxondaryo river valley during the final approach are particularly lush compared to the surrounding desert.
