Left Side Highlights
8.2
🌊

Yenisei River

A breathtaking view of the massive Yenisei River as the plane climbs away from Krasnoyarsk.

🏔️

Kuznetsky Alatau

Distant views of the rugged mountain peaks to the south during the first hour of flight.

⛰️

Middle Ural Mountains

The geographic border between Asia and Europe, characterized by ancient, forested ridges.

🚤

Volga River

Spectacular views of Russia's national river near the city of Kazan.

🏙️

Moscow Skyline

Potential sightings of the Moscow City skyscrapers and the Kremlin during the descent.

Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you for better photos. The Yenisei River crossing at takeoff is spectacular. As you approach Moscow, the left side is usually favored for views of the city center if the flight path circles the capital.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🌲

Siberian Taiga

An endless expanse of dense coniferous forests stretching toward the Arctic horizon.

🛶

Ob River

Crossing the massive waterway near the industrial hubs of Western Siberia.

💧

Vasyugan Swamp

🚢

Kama River

European Russian Plains

Orderly farmland patterns as you transition out of the Siberian wilderness.

Select the right side if flying in the afternoon to avoid direct glare. This side offers better views of the Northern Siberian landscape and the intricate hydrology of the Vasyugan Swamp. Keep an eye out for the distinct transition from the Siberian Taiga to the Ural foothills.
