Gobi Desert
The stark, beautiful gravel plains and desolate landscapes of southern Mongolia.
Altai Mountains
Breathtaking snow-capped peaks where Russia, China, Mongolia, and Kazakhstan meet.
Lake Baikal
On more northerly flight paths, you may catch a glimpse of the world's deepest freshwater lake.
Siberian Taiga
Dense, dark-green coniferous forests interspersed with winding, silver river systems.
Moscow Outskirts
A great vantage point for the urban sprawl and satellite towns surrounding the Russian capital.
This side is ideal for photography as it is usually shadowed from the direct southern sun, reducing cabin reflections. In winter months, keep an eye out for the Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis) if the flight path takes a more northerly trajectory during the night.

Expect significant sun exposure on this side for most of the flight. Use the window shade to manage glare while scanning the horizon for the dramatic shift from the flat steppes to the rolling Ural foothills. This side provides excellent sunset views on afternoon departures from Hanoi.
