Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers superior lighting for photography on this westbound journey, avoiding direct sun glare while providing sweeping views of the Central Asian steppes and the dramatic Carpathian ranges.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌅

Bohai Gulf

Early flight views of the Yellow Sea and the expansive industrial coastline of Northeast China.

🏜️

Kazakh Steppes

Infinite geometric patterns of semi-desert terrain and seasonal salt lakes across Central Asia.

💧

Aral Sea Remnants

The hauntingly beautiful and ecologically significant patterns of the shrinking sea bed.

🌊

Black Sea Coast

A long, scenic stretch across the northern curvature of the sea's coastline.

⛰️

Carpathian Mountains

Dramatic forested ridges spanning Romania and Slovakia during the final descent phase.

The right side faces north, providing consistent, soft lighting ideal for photography without sun flare. Watch for the unique landscape of the Aral Sea about 6 hours into the flight; its contrasting textures are exceptionally clear from cruising altitude. In winter, the snow coverage over the Kazakh steppes creates a mesmerizing white canvas.

🏜️

Gobi Desert Edge

Aerial views of the southern stretches of the vast Mongolian and Chinese dunes.

🏔️

Tien Shan Range

The 'Celestial Mountains' with jagged, snow-capped peaks along the border of Kyrgyzstan.

🌊

Southern Caspian

The deep blue waters meeting the rugged coastal terrain of the southern inland sea.

🏔️

Greater Caucasus

Stunning views of the highest peaks in Europe, including the towering Mount Elbrus.

🏙️

Balkan Peninsula

The varied landscape of southeastern Europe as you transition toward the Czech Republic.

Expect intense sunlight during the midday portion of this westbound flight. Use your window shade to manage heat, but keep it open while passing over the Caucasus Mountains—approximately 8 to 9 hours after departure—for the most dramatic mountain scenery of the trip.
