Which side of the plane to sit from Zvartnots International Airport (Yerevan) to Mineralnyye Vody Airport (Mineralnye Vody)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides superior views of the High Caucasus, featuring the vast Lake Sevan and the iconic, glaciated pyramid of Mount Kazbek.
Mount Aragats
Armenia's highest point, a four-peaked extinct volcano, is visible shortly after departure to the north.
Lake Sevan
The 'Jewel of Armenia,' one of the world's largest high-altitude freshwater lakes, appears as a brilliant blue expanse.
Tbilisi Overview
The flight path often passes near the Georgian capital, offering a view of the Mtkvari River valley.
Mount Kazbek
One of the major mountains of the Caucasus, this dormant stratovolcano is a highlight of the border crossing.
Greater Caucasus Crest
The dramatic, jagged spine of the mountain range that marks the geographical border between Asia and Europe.
The right side is essential for seeing the most famous peaks of the central Caucasus. Try to book a morning flight to see Lake Sevan and Mount Kazbek illuminated by the eastern sun. Ensure you have a window seat away from the wing to fully appreciate the steep vertical relief of the mountains during the descent into Mineralnye Vody.
Mount Ararat
Visible shortly after takeoff from Yerevan, the legendary snow-capped peak dominates the southern horizon.
Lesser Caucasus
Rugged, green mountain ranges of northern Armenia and southern Georgia stretching toward the Black Sea.
Mount Elbrus
On clear days, Europe's highest peak can be spotted in the far distance to the west as the plane enters Russian airspace.
Look out the window immediately after takeoff to catch Mount Ararat before the plane turns north. For the best photography of the western Caucasus ranges, afternoon flights are recommended to avoid direct sun glare.
