DYUOMS

Which side of the plane to sit from Dushanbe Airport (Dushanbe) to Omsk Central Airport (Omsk)?

Our Recommendation
8.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior perspective of the massive Tien Shan mountain range shortly after takeoff and follows the winding course of the Irtysh River during the descent into Omsk.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🏔️

Western Tien Shan

Breathtaking views of the 'Celestial Mountains' with snow-capped peaks and deep, narrow valleys.

💧

Syr Darya River

One of the longest rivers in Central Asia, visible as it snakes through the arid Kazakh plains.

🌾

Saryarka Steppe

The endless rolling grasslands of the Kazakh Uplands, a UNESCO World Heritage site known for its vast horizons.

🛶

Irtysh River Meanders

Watch the dramatic loops and oxbow lakes of the Irtysh River as you cross into Russian territory.

The right side provides the best scenery during the final approach into Omsk. If flying during the afternoon, the sun will be behind you, providing perfect lighting for photography of the Tien Shan range and the Siberian river systems.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
⛰️

Fan Mountains

Witness the rugged, jagged peaks of the Fan Mountains immediately after departing Dushanbe.

🏜️

Betpak-Dala

Fly over the 'Hunger Steppe,' a vast and desolate desert region in central Kazakhstan with unique geological textures.

🌊

Lake Tengiz

A large, shallow salt lake in northern Kazakhstan, known for its pale blue water and bird habitats.

🏙️

Omsk City Center

Excellent views of Omsk's urban layout and industrial districts if the flight approaches from the south.

The left side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. Keep your camera ready in the first 15 minutes of the flight for the high-altitude mountain passes of Tajikistan.
