Which side of the plane to sit from Zvartnots International Airport (Yerevan) to Krasnodar Pashkovsky International Airport (Krasnodar)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers an unparalleled view of the biblical Mount Ararat during takeoff, followed by a dramatic perspective of Mount Elbrus, Europe's highest peak, and the shimmering Black Sea coastline in the distance.
Mount Ararat
Immediately after takeoff from Yerevan, the legendary snow-capped twin peaks are visible to the south-west.
Mount Elbrus
The double-coned dormant volcano and highest point in Europe dominates the horizon during the Caucasus crossing.
Black Sea Horizon
On clear days, the distant blue line of the Black Sea coast near Sochi is visible as the plane moves north.
Western Caucasus
Deep gorges and forested ridges of the UNESCO-listed Western Caucasus biosphere reserve.
Kuban Plains
The vast, geometric patchworks of Russia's southern agricultural heartland during the final descent.
Request an 'A' seat for the best panoramic views. For the most iconic shot of Mount Ararat, look out immediately within the first 5-10 minutes of takeoff. Early morning flights provide the crispest air and minimize the mountain haze that often develops by mid-afternoon.
Mount Aragats
Armenia's highest peak, a four-peaked volcanic massif, is situated just north of the departure path.
Tbilisi & Mtskheta
Depending on the flight corridor, views of the Georgian capital and the confluence of the Mtkvari and Aragvi rivers.
Mount Kazbek
The majestic stratovolcano on the Georgia-Russia border, often shrouded in myths and thin clouds.
Krasnodar Reservoir
The massive 'Kuban Sea' appears on the right just before landing, reflecting the sky beautifully at sunset.
An 'F' seat is ideal for seeing the diverse terrain of central Georgia and the eastern peaks of the Greater Caucasus. Keep your camera ready as you cross the Russian border, as the transition from high alpine peaks to the Stavropol highlands happens very quickly.
