Our Recommendation
9.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers an unparalleled view of the iconic Mount Ararat during the final descent into Yerevan, alongside a stunning aerial perspective of the shrinking Lake Urmia.

Left Side Highlights
9.2
🌊

Lake Urmia

Witness the dramatic salt crusts and turquoise waters of this massive endorheic lake near Tabriz.

🌋

Mount Sahand

Fly past the dormant volcanic highlands, characterized by jagged peaks and high-altitude craters.

🏙️

Tabriz Skyline

Get a bird's-eye view of one of Iran's most historic and largest urban centers nestled in the valley.

🏔️

Mount Ararat

The crown jewel of the flight; the massive snow-capped dormant volcano appears majestic as you enter Armenian airspace.

Book a window seat on the left (typically 'A') for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare and get the best lighting on Mount Ararat. The mountain becomes clearly visible about 15-20 minutes before touchdown at EVN. Ensure your camera is ready during the mid-flight transition over the Iranian Azerbaijan region to capture the unique colors of the salt flats.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🏔️

Alborz Range

Enjoy the rugged north-western extension of the Alborz mountains shortly after takeoff from Tehran.

❄️

Mount Sabalan

Spot the third-highest peak in Iran, known for its permanent snow cover and hidden crater lake at the summit.

🛤️

Aras River Valley

View the winding river that serves as the international border between Iran and its northern neighbors.

🏞️

Geghama Mountains

Observe the volcanic ridge of Armenia, featuring distinctive red-toned earth and high-altitude plateaus.

The right side (typically 'F' or 'K') is superior for viewing the high peaks of the Sabalan volcano. On afternoon flights, the sun will be behind you, providing excellent illumination of the Armenian highlands and the deep canyons of the Aras River. This side is particularly beautiful in winter when the entire Syunik mountain range is blanketed in thick snow.
