KRODME

Our Recommendation
8.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers the most dramatic views of the Southern Ural Mountains and the urban landscape of Ufa, coupled with excellent lighting for photography during afternoon flights.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
⛰️

Southern Ural Peaks

Aerial views of the rugged Iremel mountain massif and the transition from the Siberian plains to the Ural range.

🏙️

Ufa Cityscape

A clear view of the capital of Bashkortostan situated at the confluence of the Belaya and Ufa rivers.

🌊

Volga River Crossing

A spectacular perspective of Europe's longest river as the flight path passes over the Samara or Ulyanovsk regions.

🌾

Ryazan Lowlands

The intricate patchwork of agricultural fields and traditional Russian villages as you approach the capital.

Choose a seat behind the wing for the best photography of the Ural peaks. During evening flights, this side catches the golden hour glow over the Volga River, though sun glare can be intense in the late afternoon.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
💧

Tobol River Meanders

Scenic views of the winding Tobol river valley immediately after departure from Kurgan.

🔵

Chelyabinsk Lake District

Dozens of sapphire-colored lakes visible to the north of the industrial heartland of the Urals.

🚢

Kama River System

Vast views of the Kuybyshev Reservoir where the Kama meets the Volga, looking like an inland sea.

🌲

Meshchera Woodlands

Dense, deep-green forest tracts and wetlands typical of the Moscow and Vladimir regions.

The right side is preferable for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight. It provides a better vantage point for the northern reservoirs and the dense forest belts of the East European Plain.
