Which side of the plane to sit from Khabarovsk-Novy Airport (Khabarovsk) to Chulman Airport (Neryungri)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides the most dramatic views of the Stanovoy Highlands and the rugged mountain landscapes that define the border between the Amur region and Yakutia.
Amur Braided Channels
Complex water patterns and wetlands where the Amur and Ussuri rivers converge near the flight path.
Badzhal Mountain Range
A glimpse of the high, craggy peaks located to the north of the Khabarovsk region.
Bureya Nature Reserve
Fly over vast, untouched primary larch forests and the deep river valleys of the Bureya highlands.
Stanovoy Range
The flight's highlight, featuring high-altitude ridges and sharp peaks as you enter South Yakutia.
Permafrost Landscapes
Observation of unique thermokarst patterns and frozen riverbeds that dominate the terrain near Neryungri.
The right side offers the best wilderness views. Request a seat toward the back to keep the wing out of your photos of the Stanovoy Range. For flights in late autumn or early winter, the low sun angle on this side provides stunning golden-hour lighting over the snow-dusted mountains.
Khabarovsk Cityscape
Excellent views of the Khabarovsk city center and the sprawl along the Amur River shortly after takeoff.
Amur River Bridge
The iconic bridge featured on the 5,000 ruble note is visible as you climb out of Khabarovsk-Novy.
Trans-Siberian Corridor
Occasional views of the rail lines and remote settlements that cling to the southern edge of the taiga.
Zeya Reservoir Distant View
On clear days, the vast expanse of the Zeya Reservoir can be seen shimmering on the western horizon.
Sit on the left if you want to see the city of Khabarovsk immediately after departure. During the winter, this side is less prone to harsh glare if the flight is scheduled during the middle of the day, as you are flying north-northwest.
