Our Recommendation
7.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides a clearer view of the Volga River's majestic bends and the more prominent ridges of the Ural Mountains during the crossing into Siberia.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🌾

Kuban Agricultural Basin

Geometric patterns of the fertile southern Russian farmlands immediately after departure.

🌊

Volga River & Samara Bend

Stunning views of the largest river in Europe as it curves through the Zhiguli Mountains.

⛰️

Middle Ural Ridge

The dramatic crossing of the ancient mountains that separate Europe and Asia.

🌲

Siberian Taiga

A massive expanse of dark coniferous forests stretching to the horizon.

🚰

Ob River Tributaries

The intricate water networks and marshlands characteristic of the West Siberian Plain.

Watch for the transition from the flat agricultural plains of the Kuban to the rolling hills of the Urals approximately two hours into the flight. For the Ob River meanders, have your camera ready during the final 45 minutes of the journey.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🏙️

Volgograd Distant View

Distant glimpses of the southern industrial reaches along the lower Volga.

🏭

Gas Extraction Infrastructure

Visual evidence of the massive scale of the Russian energy industry as you enter Siberia.

🧊

Subarctic Tundra

The vast, treeless frozen plains visible as you approach the Arctic Circle.

⛽

Yamal Gas Flares

Bright spots of industrial activity that light up the northern landscape.

The right side is particularly spectacular during night flights when the gas flares of the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug illuminate the horizon. In winter, this side offers a stark, beautiful view of the sun setting low over the snowy Siberian plains.
