Our Recommendation
8.4

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides an exceptional view of Lake Ladoga shortly after takeoff and offers a more dramatic perspective of the snow-capped Fergana Range during the descent into the valley.

Left Side Highlights
8.4
🌊

Lake Ladoga

Europe's largest lake, visible shortly after departure from Pulkovo if the wind allows a northern climb.

🚜

Russian Heartland

A vast patchwork of agricultural fields and forests stretching across the European part of Russia.

🏜️

Kazakh Steppes

The transition from green forests to the arid, endless horizons of the northern Kazakh plains.

🏔️

Fergana Range

Dramatic, high-altitude peaks of the Tien Shan system appearing as the flight begins its final descent.

Sit on the left for morning flights to keep the sun behind you for the best photography of the Russian plains. Keep your camera ready about 45 minutes before landing for the most rugged mountain views. Seasonal snow cover on the Tien Shan is most impressive from late autumn through spring.

Right Side Highlights
7.6
💧

Volga River

Breathtaking views of Russia's most iconic river as it winds through the southern reaches of the country.

🏜️

Kyzylkum Desert

A sea of reddish sand and ancient geological formations as the flight moves through Central Asia.

🏔️

Chatkal Mountains

Jagged ridges that frame the western edge of the Fergana Valley during the approach.

🍇

Fergana Oasis

A sudden burst of green vegetation and irrigation canals contrasting sharply with the surrounding desert.

The right side is ideal for spotting the Volga and the vastness of the Kyzylkum. On final approach, this side offers a better view of the agricultural density of the valley floor. During sunset flights, the right side will witness spectacular desert colors but may suffer from direct glare.
