Baku Cityscape
A sweeping view of the Flame Towers, the Baku Crystal Hall, and the crescent-shaped bay immediately after departure.
Greater Caucasus Peaks
Magnificent views of high-altitude summits, including the Shahdag and Tufandag massifs to the north.
Glaciers and Snowfields
Year-round snow and ice visible on the highest peaks of the Caucasian spine during the cruise phase.
Alazani Valley
The lush, green vineyards of eastern Georgia's Kakheti region appearing as the plane begins its descent into Tbilisi.
This is the premier side for mountain photography. Aim for a morning flight when the sun illuminates the southern faces of the Greater Caucasus. Ensure you are seated forward or aft of the wing to capture the full scale of the mountain range as it transitions from the dry Caspian coast to the verdant Georgian valleys.

Caspian Sea Coastline
View of the turquoise waters and the offshore oil infrastructure near the Absheron Peninsula during takeoff.
Gobustan Region
The unique, arid landscape south of Baku, known for its mud volcanoes and ancient petroglyphs visible as textured terrain.
Kura River Meanders
The winding path of Azerbaijan's longest river as it snakes through the central plains towards the sea.
Lesser Caucasus
Distant views of the southern mountain ranges bordering the Armenian Highlands in the horizon.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare. It is the better side for viewing the industrial heart of Azerbaijan and the vast, semi-desert landscapes of the Kura-Araz lowland.
