Volga and Oka Confluence
Immediately after takeoff, witness the historic meeting point of the Volga and Oka rivers in Nizhny Novgorod.
Samara Bend
A massive, sweeping 180-degree turn of the Volga River, one of Russia's most iconic geographic features.
Mugodzhar Hills
The southern-most tip of the Ural Mountains, appearing as rocky ridges amidst the Kazakh plains.
Kazakh Steppe
Vast, seemingly endless expanses of golden grasslands that characterize the heart of Central Asia.
Tien Shan Spurs
On the final descent, the snow-capped northern spurs of the Tien Shan range become visible to the east.
Sit on the left for the best morning light during southbound flights. This side provides the most 'landmark-heavy' view during the first half of the trip. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff for the stunning city-river layout of Nizhny Novgorod.

Ural River
The winding river that serves as a traditional geographic border between the European and Asian continents.
Kyzylkum Desert
Experience the stark beauty of the 'Red Sand' desert with its unique dune patterns and arid landscape.
Aral Basin Vistas
Views toward the eastern edges of the Aral Sea basin, showing the dramatic environmental shifts of the region.
Syr Darya River
The vital artery of Central Asian agriculture, appearing as a green ribbon cutting through the desert sands.
Tashkent Cityscape
Panoramic views of the Uzbek capital's modern architecture and Soviet-era urban planning during the final approach.
The right side is excellent for afternoon flights to avoid the direct sun glare. It offers a more 'wilderness' feel, focusing on the vast desert topography. Watch for the stark contrast between the desert and the irrigated green zones as you enter Uzbek airspace.
