Greater Caucasus Wall
An uninterrupted view of the massive mountain barrier that separates Europe and Asia.
Mount Elbrus
On clear days, the twin-peaked summit of Europe's highest mountain is visible to the north.
Svaneti Mountains
Rugged, high-altitude terrain of the Georgian Caucasus known for its dramatic deep gorges.
Caucasian Biosphere Reserve
Dense, ancient forests and pristine wilderness areas as you cross into the Krasnodar Krai region.
Krasnaya Polyana
The mountain cluster of the Sochi Olympics, visible tucked into the valleys just before landing.
The right side is the undisputed winner for mountain lovers. For the best photography, choose a seat behind the wing to capture the scale of the Caucasus peaks. Afternoon flights are ideal for this side as the sun will be behind the plane, illuminating the southern faces of the mountains in gold.

Armenia's highest massif, visible shortly after takeoff with its four distinct jagged peaks.

The rolling volcanic plateaus and green ridges of northern Armenia and southern Georgia.
Black Sea Horizon
The vast turquoise expanse appearing as the flight prepares for its descent into the Adler district.
