Our Recommendation
8.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior perspective of the Caspian Sea coastline, the vast Kazakh steppes, and a breathtaking view of the mighty Yenisei River during the final approach into Krasnoyarsk.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🏖️

Caspian Sea Coast

The contrasting shoreline where the arid plains meet the turquoise waters of the world's largest inland body of water.

🌾

Kazakh Steppes

The vast, golden northern reaches of Kazakhstan visible as the flight path skirts the border.

🏗️

Magnitogorsk Industry

Dramatic views of the massive industrial complexes and smoke stacks of the southern Ural region.

💧

Ob River Basin

The massive, winding silver threads of the Ob and its tributaries cutting through the Siberian landscape.

🛶

The Mighty Yenisei

A grand view of one of the world's largest river systems as you descend into the Krasnoyarsk region.

The right side is ideal for morning flights to see the sun reflecting off the Caspian Sea. The highlight is the approach to Krasnoyarsk; the Yenisei River is best viewed from this side as the plane turns for landing. Seasonal tip: In autumn, the transition from golden steppes to the deep greens of the Siberian forests is exceptionally vivid.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
⛰️

Greater Caucasus Range

Spectacular views of the rugged, snow-capped peaks of the Caucasus shortly after departure from Yerevan.

🌊

Volga River Delta

The intricate network of channels and wetlands where Europe's longest river meets the Caspian Sea.

🏔️

Southern Ural Mountains

The ancient, forested ridges of the Urals marking the geographic border between Europe and Asia.

🌲

Siberian Taiga

An endless expanse of dense coniferous forest stretching toward the northern horizon.

🏙️

Omsk Cityscape

A clear view of the urban layout and the confluence of the Om and Irtysh rivers.

Choose the left side for evening flights to catch the sunset over the Russian plains. On clear days, look for the distant peak of Mount Elbrus to the northwest shortly after the initial climb. During winter, the geometric patterns of frozen agricultural fields in southern Russia are particularly striking.
