Which side of the plane to sit from Krasnodar Pashkovsky International Airport (Krasnodar) to Yemelyanovo Airport (Krasnoyarsk)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the dramatic transition from the fertile Kuban plains into the southern fringes of the Ural Mountains, followed by the majestic approach over the Yenisei River and the Sayan mountain foothills.

Kuban Agricultural Grid
The geometric beauty of southern Russia's 'breadbasket' immediately after takeoff from Krasnodar.
Southern Ural Peaks
Roughened terrain and more prominent peaks compared to the northern sections of the range.
Kazakh Steppe Fringes
The vast, arid landscapes of the southern borderlands offering high-contrast colors during midday.
Ob and Yenisei Rivers
Magnificent views of Russia's great Siberian rivers as they flow north towards the Arctic.
Stolby Nature Reserve
On final approach to KJA, look for the unique volcanic rock pillars rising from the taiga south of the city.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to catch the sunrise reflecting off the rivers. On the descent into Krasnoyarsk, keep your camera ready for the Yenisei River loop, which is particularly stunning during the autumn when the larch trees turn gold.

Volga River Crossing
A panoramic view of Russia's most famous river, likely crossing near the expansive Samara Reservoir.
Central Ural Ridges
Dense, dark-green forested ridges of the older Ural mountain chain stretching toward the horizon.
Ufa and Chelyabinsk
Glimpses of major industrial and cultural hubs of the Bashkortostan and Ural regions.
West Siberian Taiga
An endless tapestry of boreal forests and intricate river meanders typical of the Siberian lowlands.
For the best experience, choose a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. During winter flights, this side provides the most consistent 'blue hour' lighting as you head north-east away from the southern sun.
