Which side of the plane to sit from Zvartnots International Airport (Yerevan) to Roshchino International Airport (Tyumen)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of the majestic Greater Caucasus Range, including the highest peak in Europe, Mount Elbrus, and better visibility of the dramatic Volga River curves.
Mount Ararat
Visible shortly after takeoff from Yerevan, the iconic twin peaks rise majestically to the southwest.
Mount Elbrus
As you cross the Caucasus, the double-coned dormant volcano and highest point in Europe dominates the horizon.
Volga River Bend
Aerial views of the massive Saratov Reservoir and the intricate river systems of central Russia.
Southern Ural Mountains
The ancient, rolling peaks marking the boundary between Europe and Asia appear as you approach Siberia.
Book an 'A' window seat for the most iconic views. For morning flights, this side will have the best illumination of the Caucasus peaks. Keep your camera ready within the first 20 minutes of flight for the Ararat and Aragats views before the plane turns north.
Mount Kazbek
A prominent stratovolcano on the border of Georgia and Russia, offering a sharp, snowy silhouette.
Caspian Sea Coast
On more easterly flight paths, the blue expanse of the Caspian and the Dagestan shoreline are visible.
Samara Cityscape
A great view of the 'Samara Bend' where the Volga river makes a sharp 180-degree turn near the city.
Siberian Taiga
Dense, endless forests and winding rivers characterize the final descent into the Tyumen region.
The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. It provides excellent views of the vast Russian steppes and the transition into the Siberian marshlands. Watch for the Caspian coastline during the mid-portion of the flight.
