EGO → FRU
Which side of the plane to sit from Belgorod International Airport (Belgorod) to Manas International Airport (Bishkek)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers the most dramatic scenery, specifically during the final third of the flight when the towering, snow-capped peaks of the Tian Shan mountain range come into view as you approach Bishkek.

The Lower Volga
The majestic curves of the Volga River near Volgograd, one of Europe's longest and most historic waterways.
Ustyurt Plateau Edge
Unique geological formations and chalk escarpments as the flight passes near the Caspian depression.
Aral Sea Basin
The stark, salt-crusted landscapes of the former Aral Sea bed, showing a hauntingly beautiful environmental transformation.
Tian Shan Panorama
Spectacular views of the 'Celestial Mountains' with peaks exceeding 4,000 meters visible during the descent into FRU.
Bishkek Cityscape
The urban grid of Kyrgyzstan's capital set against the dramatic backdrop of the Ala-Too range.
The right side is essential for the mountain views. Try to book a flight that arrives in the late afternoon; the setting sun illuminates the snow-capped Tian Shan peaks in brilliant oranges and pinks. Be aware that during the mid-portion of the flight over Kazakhstan, the sun will be on this side, so you may need to lower your window shade temporarily to avoid heat and glare.

Central Black Earth Region
Aerial views of the highly fertile, dark-soiled agricultural fields surrounding Belgorod and Voronezh.
Saratov & Volga Bridge
The massive expanse of the Volga River and the long road bridges connecting Saratov and Engels.
Northern Kazakh Steppe
An endless horizon of the semi-arid steppe landscape, showing the vast scale of central Eurasia.
Chu River Valley
The green oasis of the Chu River which serves as a natural border between Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan.
The left side is best for passengers who enjoy the minimalist beauty of the Eurasian plains. For the best photography of the Russian agricultural patterns, choose a morning flight when the shadows are long and define the field boundaries. This side avoids direct sun glare for much of the southeasterly journey.
