Departing passengers will see the vast, golden Kazakh steppe stretching to the horizon, alongside the industrial complexes and the deep blue Kengir Reservoir.
While both sides offer views of the vast Kazakh Steppe, the Right Side provides a spectacular finale as the plane approaches Almaty, showcasing the towering, snow-capped peaks of the Trans-Ili Alatau mountains.
The Left Side is the preferred choice for this route because it offers the most iconic views of Astana's futuristic skyline during the descent, along with glimpses of the UNESCO-protected Korgalzhyn wetlands.
