Deep blue waters with views of offshore oil platforms and shipping lanes connecting the Middle East.

Absheron Peninsula
The coastal contours of Azerbaijan and the distant cityscape of Baku as you cross the Caspian.
Mount Elbrus
The twin-peaked dormant volcano and highest point in Europe, visible shortly before landing.
Sit on the left for the best chance to see Mount Elbrus during the approach to Mineralnye Vody. For morning flights, this side will be in the shade, providing better lighting for photography of the mountains. During winter, the snow-covered Caucasus range is particularly dramatic.
