Which side of the plane to sit from Kazan International Airport (Kazan) to Antalya International Airport (Antalya)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is superior for this route as it offers the most direct views of the Greater Caucasus mountain range, including Europe's highest peak, Mount Elbrus, and the scenic high-altitude lakes of Turkey.

Volga-Kama Confluence
Visible shortly after takeoff from Kazan, see where the two massive river systems merge into one.
Greater Caucasus Range
Stunning views of the snow-capped mountain chain that serves as the border between Europe and Asia.
Mount Elbrus
Look for the distinctive double-peaked silhouette of the highest mountain in Europe standing at 5,642 meters.
Lake Beyลehir
A beautiful view of one of Turkey's largest freshwater lakes situated in the Taurus Mountains.
Taurus Mountains
Dramatic limestone peaks and deep canyons as the aircraft begins its final descent into Antalya.
Sit behind the wing for an unobstructed view of the Caucasus peaks. On daytime flights, this side is shaded from the harsh afternoon sun, making it better for photography. Keep your camera ready about 90 to 120 minutes into the flight for the mountain crossing.

The Black Sea
A vast expanse of deep blue as you cross from the Russian coastline into Turkish airspace.
