Our Recommendation
9.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a front-row seat to the most iconic landmarks of the Caucasus, including the towering Mount Elbrus and a breathtaking final approach past Mount Ararat.

Right Side Highlights
9.5
🏔️

Mount Elbrus

The double-coned peak of Europe's highest mountain is often visible towering above the clouds.

🗻

Mount Ararat

The legendary dormant volcano and national symbol of Armenia dominates the horizon during the final approach.

🌊

Black Sea Horizon

Depending on the flight path, glimpses of the vast Black Sea can be seen to the far west.

🌋

Aragats Massif

The four peaks of Mount Aragats, the highest point in modern Armenia, appear shortly before landing.

🏙️

Yerevan Cityscape

A panoramic view of the 'Pink City' and its unique radial urban planning as the plane banks toward the runway.

The right side is essential for seeing Mount Ararat, which is most likely to be clear of clouds in the early morning. If flying during sunset, the peaks of the Caucasus turn a vibrant orange, providing a spectacular backdrop for photography.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🌊

Sea of Azov Coastline

Aerial views of the shallow, greenish waters of the Azov Sea and the narrow spits along the shore.

🏔️

Eastern Caucasus Peaks

Dramatic views of the jagged, snow-dusted ridges of the Greater Caucasus mountain range.

💧

Lake Sevan

Known as the 'Blue Eye' of Armenia, this massive high-altitude lake is visible during the descent into Yerevan.

🏗️

Dnipro River

Immediate views of the wide Dnipro River and the industrial skyline of the city upon departure.

Look out for Lake Sevan approximately 20 minutes before landing; its deep blue water contrasts sharply with the surrounding arid Armenian highlands. Morning flights offer the best lighting for the eastern slopes of the Caucasus.
