Turkestan Range
Rugged, snow-capped peaks of the western Tien Shan system visible immediately after takeoff from Khudzhand.
Aydar Lake
A massive, shimmering blue reservoir in the middle of the Kyzylkum Desert landscape.
South Aral Basin
The hauntingly beautiful salt flats and receding water lines of the southern remnants of the Aral Sea.
Caspian Sea Crossing
A long stretch over the deep blue waters of the central Caspian, often showing offshore oil rigs.
Greater Caucasus Range
The dramatic wall of mountains separating Europe and Asia, visible for several hundred miles.
Mount Elbrus
Europe's highest peak, a dormant double-coned volcano, stands out prominently against the southern horizon.
Choose a window seat behind the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Caucasus Mountains during descent. This route is most scenic during morning flights when the sun illuminates the southern face of the mountains, or during sunset when the peaks of Elbrus glow orange. In winter, the snow cover makes the mountain relief much more dramatic.

Kyzylkum Desert
Vast stretches of red sand dunes and arid steppe across Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan.
Ustyurt Plateau
A high, stony desert landscape featuring dramatic limestone 'chinks' or cliffs near the Caspian coast.
North Caspian Coastline
The shallow, turquoise waters of the northern Caspian near the Mangystau Peninsula.
Kuban Steppe
The 'breadbasket' of Russia, featuring a vast patchwork of geometric agricultural fields as you approach Krasnodar.
The right side is better if you prefer desert geology and the unique patterns of the Ustyurt Plateau. Keep an eye out for the Volga Delta area if the flight path tracks slightly further north. However, be aware that the afternoon sun can be quite intense on this side when flying westward, potentially causing glare on the window.
