Our Recommendation
7.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers superior views of the Khudzhand urban landscape upon departure and the distant silhouette of the Southern Ural Mountains during the latter half of the journey.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏙ïļ

Khudzhand Skyline

A clear view of the Syr Darya river cutting through the city center immediately after takeoff.

🏜ïļ

Betpak-Dala Desert

The vast, arid 'Hungry Steppe' of central Kazakhstan, showcasing unique geological formations.

⛰ïļ

Southern Ural Foothills

Distant, rugged silhouettes of the ancient mountain range visible on the western horizon near the Russian border.

💧

Tobol River Basin

Intricate meandering river patterns as the flight descends into the moist Siberian lowlands.

Choose an 'A' seat for optimal viewing. On evening flights, this side provides a spectacular sunset over the Central Asian steppe. In winter, the contrast between the frozen rivers and the snowy plains is particularly striking from this vantage point.

Right Side Highlights
6.5
🌊

Syr Darya River

Follow the lifeline of the region as it snakes northward through the Kazakh landscape.

ðŸŒū

Saryarka Steppe

Endless horizons of the Kazakh Uplands, featuring a patchwork of golden grasslands and salt pans.

ðŸĶĒ

Lake Tengiz

A massive, shallow salt lake that serves as a critical wetland habitat, visible if the flight path tracks slightly east.

ðŸŒē

Siberian Taiga

The sudden transition from dry steppe to the dense forests and wetlands characteristic of the Tyumen region.

For morning departures, the right side avoids direct sunlight, making it easier to spot the changing vegetation. Look out for the transition from arid brown to deep green about 45 minutes before landing. In clear weather, the geometric patterns of northern Kazakh agriculture are highly visible.
