Zeravshan Range
Rugged, high-altitude peaks north of Dushanbe visible immediately after takeoff.
Kyzylkum Desert
Vast golden dunes and stark, arid landscapes stretching across Uzbekistan.
North Caspian Coast
The dramatic transition from desert sands to the shallow, brackish waters of the northern Caspian.
Volga River Delta
A massive, labyrinthine green network of channels where the Volga meets the Caspian near Astrakhan.
Russian Steppes
Endless agricultural mosaics and rolling plains of the Stavropol and Rostov regions.
Don River
The winding Don River and its tributaries as the aircraft enters the Rostov-on-Don approach path.
The Volga Delta is the absolute highlight; ensure you are looking out approximately 2/3 into the flight duration. Afternoon flights provide the best lighting for photography on this side. Use a window seat forward of the wing to capture the contrast between the Caspian blue and the Volga's green wetlands.

Uninterrupted views of the deep blue Caspian Sea during the mid-flight crossing.
