Our Recommendation
9.2

Right Side of the Plane

While both sides offer spectacular views of the Caucasus, the right side is superior for the iconic approach toward Mount Ararat and early views of the Black Sea coastline.

Right Side Highlights
9.2
🌊

Black Sea Horizon

Depending on the flight path, you may see the turquoise waters of the coast near Sochi and Abkhazia.

🏞️

Rioni River Valley

The lush, green landscapes of Western Georgia provide a stark contrast to the rocky peaks.

🗻

Mount Ararat

The crown jewel of the route; the massive dormant volcano dominates the horizon during the approach to Yerevan.

🌋

Little Ararat

The symmetrical smaller cone located right next to the main peak of Mount Ararat.

🛬

Ararat Valley

A patchwork of vineyards and orchards surrounding the airport as the plane prepares for landing.

The right side is essential for the descent into Yerevan to see Mount Ararat. Early morning flights are highly recommended because the mountain is often shrouded in haze or clouds by the afternoon. Ensure you are seated behind the wing for an unobstructed view of the peaks.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🏔️

Greater Caucasus Range

Breathtaking views of the snow-capped main ridge of the Caucasus Mountains shortly after takeoff.

⛰️

Mount Elbrus

On clear days, Europe's highest peak is visible in the distance to the east during the cruise phase.

💧

Lake Sevan

As the plane enters Armenian airspace, the deep blue waters of the high-altitude 'Pearl of Armenia' appear.

🏙️

City of Gyumri

Armenia's cultural capital and its distinct urban layout are visible during the initial descent.

The left side is ideal for morning flights as the sun illuminates the northern slopes of the Caucasus. If you want to see the vastness of the mountain range and Lake Sevan's shoreline, choose a window seat away from the wing.
