Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for the highest peaks of the Greater Caucasus, including the majestic twin-coned Mount Elbrus, and a direct view of Mount Aragats during the final descent.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
⛰️

Mount Elbrus

Europe's highest peak is clearly visible as a massive, snow-capped dome rising above the clouds.

🏔️

Caucasus Main Range

A breathtaking panorama of jagged, glaciated peaks separating Russia from the South Caucasus.

🌾

Kuban Steppes

The endless agricultural patterns of southern Russia, resembling a colorful patchwork quilt from 35,000 feet.

🌋

Mount Aragats

Armenia's highest summit, an extinct volcano with four distinct peaks, passed closely on the approach to EVN.

🚜

Stavropol Highlands

Rolling hills and high plateaus that mark the transition from the Russian plains to the mountain foothills.

The right side is unbeatable for mountain enthusiasts. Aim for a window seat away from the wing to fully capture the scale of Mount Elbrus. Afternoon flights offer warm, golden light on the mountain faces, making the rugged terrain of the Caucasus even more dramatic.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🌊

Volga Meanders

View the intricate loops and reservoirs of the Volga river system shortly after departing Samara.

🏔️

Mount Kazbek

One of the major mountains of the Caucasus and a prominent stratovolcano visible on the eastern horizon.

💧

Lake Sevan

The 'Jewel of Armenia,' a massive high-altitude lake that dominates the landscape during the descent into the Ararat plain.

🏙️

Saratov Skyline

A distance view of the city and its long bridge spanning the Volga river early in the flight.

Choose this side for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. The highlight is Lake Sevan, which appears about 20 minutes before landing. In winter, the frozen surface of the lake and the snow-covered eastern Caucasus ridges are exceptionally photogenic.
