Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the dramatic ecological transition of the Aral Sea basin, the stark cliffs of the Ustyurt Plateau, and the majestic approach over the Volga River.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏔️

Zarafshan Range

Dramatic northern mountain vistas as the flight leaves Tajikistan airspace.

🧂

Aral Sea Basin

The ghostly white salt flats and remnants of the eastern Aral Sea, a haunting ecological landmark.

🪨

Ustyurt Plateau

Striking limestone cliffs and desolate, high-altitude desert plateaus in Kazakhstan.

🌊

Northern Caspian

The shallow, turquoise waters of the world's largest inland body of water.

🚤

Volga River Bend

A spectacular view of the massive Volga River as the plane turns for its final approach into Volgograd.

The right side is highly recommended for viewing the Aral Sea remnants. For the best photography, choose a morning flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the white salt pans and the deep blues of the Volga River. Watch for the 'Motherland Calls' statue in the distance when approaching Volgograd from the north.

🏔️

Hissar Mountains

Stunning views of the rugged peaks surrounding Dushanbe immediately after takeoff.

🏜️

Kyzylkum Desert

Vast stretches of red sand dunes and arid landscapes across Uzbekistan.

💧

Amu Darya River

The ancient Oxus river winding through the desert border between Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan.

🏙️

Astrakhan Region

The southern Russian steppe and the sprawling agricultural lands near the Caspian depression.

🌊

Volga-Don Canal

Glimpses of the vital waterway connecting the two great Russian rivers upon descent.

Sit on the left for better views of the Pamir-Alay foothills during departure. If flying in the late afternoon, this side will experience significant glare from the sun as you head northwest toward Volgograd.
