Our Recommendation
9.1

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a spectacular vantage point for the Greater Caucasus mountains at takeoff and the rugged Kopet Dag range near the destination.

Right Side Highlights
9.1
🏔️

Greater Caucasus

Stunning views of Europe's highest peaks, including the possibility of spotting Mount Elbrus to the south.

🌊

Caspian Sea Crossing

A long stretch over the world's largest inland body of water, often showing vibrant blue gradients.

🏙️

Ashgabat

The 'City of White Marble' in Turkmenistan, recognizable by its unique architectural symmetry.

⛰️

Kopet Dag Mountains

The jagged, arid mountain range that forms the natural border between Turkmenistan and Iran.

🏘️

Hissar Valley

A dramatic descent into the lush valley surrounding Dushanbe, flanked by high mountain walls.

The right side is essential for mountain lovers. On clear days, the view of the Caucasus shortly after takeoff from Krasnodar is world-class. During the final hour, the descent alongside the Kopet Dag and Hissar ranges provides excellent photo opportunities, especially during the golden hour.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🌊

Volga-Don Steppes

Expansive agricultural patterns and river systems of southern Russia shortly after departure.

🏜️

Ustyurt Plateau

Dramatic chalk escarpments and desert landscapes crossing into Central Asia.

💧

Sarygamysh Lake

A vast turquoise lake situated on the border between Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan.

🕌

Ancient Silk Road Cities

Bird's-eye views of historical settlements like Bukhara and Samarkand in the distance.

🏔️

Pamir-Alay Range

The northern foothills of the Pamir mountains appearing as the flight nears Dushanbe.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare. It is the better side for viewing the geometric patterns of the Kyzylkum Desert and the ancient oases of Uzbekistan during the middle of the journey.
