Which side of the plane to sit from Zvartnots International Airport (Yerevan) to Volgograd International Airport (Volgograd)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers unparalleled views of the highest peaks of the Greater Caucasus range, including distant views of Mount Elbrus and closer sightings of Mount Kazbek during the northern transit.
Greater Caucasus Range
Dramatic high-altitude views of the snow-capped mountain chain that forms the border between Georgia and Russia.
Mount Elbrus
On clear days, the twin peaks of Europe's highest mountain are visible on the western horizon.
Mount Kazbek
A prominent stratovolcano and one of the major mountains of the Caucasus, appearing shortly after crossing the Georgian border.
Stavropol Upland
The transition from the rugged mountains into the rolling hills and agricultural heartland of southern Russia.
Russian Farmland
A geometric tapestry of vast grain fields typical of the fertile Kuban and Stavropol regions.
Sit on the left for the best mountain photography. For morning flights, the sun will be behind you or to the side, providing excellent illumination of the Caucasus peaks. Look out early in the flight as the climb out of Yerevan offers immediate views of the Lesser Caucasus before the main range appears.
Lake Sevan
Depending on the departure corridor, you may see the azure waters of Armenia's largest lake to the east.
Caspian Sea Horizon
In high-visibility conditions, the distant shimmer of the Caspian Sea can be seen toward the eastern horizon.
Kalmykia Steppes
The unique, arid landscapes of the only Buddhist region in Europe, characterized by vast, open semi-deserts.
Volga River Bend
The majestic sweep of Europe's longest river as the aircraft begins its final approach into Volgograd.
Volgograd Landmarks
Views of the sprawling city and potentially the 'The Motherland Calls' statue during the descent.
The right side is ideal for capturing the vastness of the Russian steppe and the arrival into the Volga valley. On afternoon flights, you will have the best lighting for the Volga river during descent, avoiding the harsh glare of the setting western sun.
