Which side of the plane to sit from Krasnodar Pashkovsky International Airport (Krasnodar) to Namangan Airport (Namangan)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior visual experience, dominated by the majestic peaks of the Greater Caucasus shortly after takeoff and the dramatic mountain ranges surrounding the Fergana Valley upon arrival.
Greater Caucasus Mountains
Breath-taking views of the snow-capped peaks and glaciers of the Caucasus range, including Elbrus if visibility is high.
Dagestan Coastline
The dramatic meeting point where the eastern edge of the Caucasus mountains descends into the Caspian Sea.
Kyzylkum Desert Dunes
The famous 'Red Sands' of Uzbekistan, featuring vast expanses of rolling dunes and ancient dried-up riverbeds.
Chatkal Mountain Range
Imposing alpine scenery with jagged peaks that frame the northern entrance to the Fergana Valley during descent.
Fergana Valley Oasis
A stunning transition into a lush, green landscape filled with orchards and vineyards, contrasting sharply with the surrounding desert.
The right side is essential for mountain lovers. Book a morning flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the Caucasus peaks in the first 45 minutes of the journey. During descent into Namangan, stay alert for the dramatic Chatkal peaks which offer some of the most rugged terrain views in Central Asia.
Kuban Steppes
Vast agricultural patchworks of southern Russia stretching towards the horizon immediately after departure from Krasnodar.
Northern Caspian Sea
Aerial views of the shallow, turquoise waters and the intricate coastline of the northern Caspian basin.
Ustyurt Plateau
A stark, alien landscape of high deserts and dramatic escarpments between the Caspian and Aral seas.
Syr Darya River
The winding green artery of Central Asia cutting through the arid Kyzylkum landscape as you approach the destination.
Namangan Perimeter
The transition from the arid desert into the densely populated and green urban sprawl of the Fergana Valley.
Sit on the left if you enjoy watching the sun set over the vast Kazakh and Uzbek steppes during late afternoon flights. Look for the unique geological patterns of the Ustyurt Plateau roughly mid-flight. In winter, the contrast between the white snow and the red desert sands is particularly striking.
