KRR → FEG
Which side of the plane to sit from Krasnodar Pashkovsky International Airport (Krasnodar) to Fergana International Airport (Fergana)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side is significantly more scenic, offering a spectacular panorama of the Greater Caucasus mountain range, including Mount Elbrus, and a dramatic approach over the high Alay and Tian Shan peaks into the Fergana Valley.
Greater Caucasus
A continuous chain of snow-capped peaks forming a natural wall between Europe and Asia.
Mount Elbrus
The twin-coned dormant volcano and highest point in Europe is clearly visible on clear days.
Karakum Desert
The 'Black Sands' of Turkmenistan with its distinct dune patterns and occasional oasis.
Fan Mountains
Jagged, high-altitude peaks and turquoise alpine lakes visible during the cruise over Tajikistan/Uzbekistan borders.
Fergana Basin Entry
The dramatic transition from high, brown mountains to the lush, green irrigated valley floor.
The Right Side is essential for mountain lovers. Early morning flights provide the best shadows and contrast for the Caucasus peaks. During the final 30 minutes of the flight, the plane often maneuvers between high ridges; look down for the stark contrast between the arid Alay mountains and the densely populated valley oases. Bring a camera with a good zoom for Mount Elbrus.
Kuban Steppes
The fertile, grid-like agricultural heartland of Southern Russia immediately after takeoff.
Northern Caspian
The wide, shimmering northern horizon of the world's largest inland body of water.
Ust-Urt Plateau
Dramatic, chalky escarpments and desolate desert landscapes in the border region.
Tashkent Skyline
Distances views of the Uzbek capital's TV tower and sprawling urban sprawl during descent.
Syr Darya River
The vital artery of Central Asia winding through the arid plains toward the Fergana Valley.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side offers better views of the vast Kyzylkum desert sands and the northern industrial outskirts of the Fergana region. Keep an eye out for the remote salt flats that appear as white patches in the desert below.
