KBP → EVN
Which side of the plane to sit from Boryspil International Airport (Kiev) to Zvartnots International Airport (Yerevan)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers an unrivaled view of the legendary Mount Ararat during the descent, along with the scenic Black Sea coastline and the Turkish highlands.
Black Sea Crossing
Expansive views of the Black Sea and the jagged coastlines of the Crimean Peninsula or the Pontic region.
Pontic Alps
The northern Turkish mountain ranges provide a dramatic backdrop of green slopes and high-altitude ridges.
Mount Ararat
The iconic twin peaks of Greater and Lesser Ararat dominate the southern horizon during the descent into EVN.
Ararat Valley
The fertile plains leading into Yerevan, dotted with vineyards and historic settlements.
The right side is the definitive choice for viewing Mount Ararat. For the best visual experience, choose a late afternoon flight when the sun illuminates the western face of the mountain, creating a golden glow on the snow-capped peak.
Dnieper River
The majestic Dnieper River winding through the Ukrainian plains shortly after departure from Kyiv.
Greater Caucasus
The northern horizon showcases the high peaks of the Greater Caucasus, including distant views of Mount Elbrus.
Lake Sevan
As the plane turns for its final approach, the deep blue waters of the largest lake in the Caucasus appear to the east.
Lesser Caucasus Range
The flight crosses the lush, rugged landscapes of the Lesser Caucasus mountains bordering Georgia and Armenia.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct glare while viewing the distant Greater Caucasus range. Keep a sharp eye out for Lake Sevan about 15-20 minutes before landing, as it provides a stunning contrast to the surrounding mountain peaks.
