Our Recommendation
7.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers superior views of the massive Siberian river systems and the Central Ural Mountains while avoiding direct sunlight glare, providing better conditions for photography.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🌊

Ob River Crossing

A magnificent view of one of the world's longest rivers as it snakes through the Siberian lowlands shortly after departure.

🌲

Siberian Taiga

Endless views of the dense northern coniferous forests and marshy wetlands typical of the West Siberian Plain.

🏔️

Central Ural Ridges

The more rugged, mountainous spine of the Urals, often retaining snow caps well into the spring months.

💧

Votkinsk Reservoir

The massive, glass-like expanse of water on the Kama River, providing a sharp contrast to the surrounding forests.

🏙️

Moscow Northern Suburbs

Final approach views of the Khimki forest and the high-density residential blocks of northern Moscow.

This side is ideal for morning flights to catch the soft lighting on the Ural Mountains. It provides the best perspective of the Ob River approximately 20-30 minutes after takeoff from Kemerovo. Being the north-facing side, you avoid direct sun, which is perfect for capturing the deep greens of the taiga.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏭

Kuzbass Industrial Basin

Aerial perspective of the massive coal mines and industrial complexes surrounding Kemerovo and Novokuznetsk.

🏙️

Omsk Metropolitan Area

Clear views of the large urban sprawl where the Om and Irtysh rivers converge in southwestern Siberia.

⛰️

Southern Ural Foothills

The ancient, weathered peaks of the Ural range marking the traditional geographic border between Asia and Europe.

🌊

Volga-Kama Basin

The intricate network of rivers and reservoirs feeding into the Volga, Europe's longest river system.

Since you are flying west, the sun will be on the left side for most of the day; keep window shades partially closed or use a polarizer to manage glare. During night flights, this side offers a better view of the bright city lights of Chelyabinsk and Ufa in the distance.
