Passengers can enjoy views of the structured city layout and the winding Tobol River as the aircraft climbs over the vast northern Kazakh steppe.
While the flight begins over the flat northern steppes, the Right Side offers a spectacular finale with panoramic views of the Trans-Ili Alatau mountains during the descent into Almaty.
The right side offers superior lighting conditions for photography when flying westward and provides excellent views of the vast Volga River reservoirs and the transition from the Kazakh steppes to the dense Russian forests.
The right side typically provides the most iconic view of the Astana skyline and the futuristic architecture of the capital during the final approach, alongside the meandering Tobol River shortly after takeoff.
