Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior view of the Armenian highlands and the highest peaks of the Greater Caucasus range, including a distant silhouette of Mount Elbrus.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏔️

Mount Aragats

Visible shortly after takeoff, this four-peaked volcanic massif is the highest point in Armenia.

🗻

Mount Elbrus

As the flight tracks north, you can see the twin peaks of Europe's highest mountain to the west.

🏙️

Rostov-on-Don

The aircraft typically passes near this major city, offering views of the winding Don River.

🌲

Smolensk Uplands

Lush, dense forests and undulating terrain as the flight path moves towards the Belarusian border.

Request a window seat away from the wing for an unobstructed view of the Caucasus peaks. Morning flights are best for the left side as the sun rises in the east, casting a soft glow on the mountain ranges without causing direct glare.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
💧

Lake Sevan

Depending on the exact departure path, the 'Jewel of Armenia' is often visible as a massive turquoise expanse.

⛰️

Mount Kazbek

One of the major mountains of the Caucasus, located on the border between Georgia and Russia.

🌾

Central Russian Steppes

An endless tapestry of agricultural fields and rural landscapes throughout the mid-flight segment.

🏙️

Minsk Sea

The Zaslawskaye Reservoir is often visible on the approach to MSQ, surrounded by dense pine forests.

The right side is ideal for spotting Lake Sevan early in the flight. Ensure you have your camera ready within the first 15 minutes of departure. In winter, this side provides beautiful views of the snow-covered Russian plains.
