Which side of the plane to sit from Pulkovo Airport (St. Petersburg) to Ganja Airport (Ganja)?

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side of the aircraft offers a more dramatic perspective of the Greater Caucasus mountain range and the turquoise waters of the Mingachevir Reservoir during the descent.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌾

Central Russian Upland

Diverse patterns of the Russian heartland's forests and fields throughout the mid-flight duration.

🏔️

Greater Caucasus Range

Stunning views of the snow-capped peaks of the Caucasus, providing a natural border between Russia and Azerbaijan.

💧

Mingachevir Reservoir

A massive, bright blue body of water known as the 'Azerbaijani Sea' visible shortly before landing.

⛰️

Lesser Caucasus Foothills

The rugged terrain and green valleys of the Lesser Caucasus mountains approaching Ganja.

The right side is essential for mountain lovers. Try to book a seat away from the wing to fully capture the scale of the Caucasus mountains. Morning flights are ideal as the sun illuminates the northern slopes of the range perfectly.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏙️

St. Petersburg Suburbs

Clear views of the southern districts and the suburban landscape of the Leningrad region upon takeoff.

🌊

Volga River Basin

Aerial views of the winding Volga river system and the fertile agricultural plains of southern Russia.

🌊

Caspian Sea Horizon

The shimmering blue of the Caspian Sea becomes visible to the east as the plane enters Azerbaijani airspace.

🌄

Kura-Aras Lowland

The vast, flat plains of central Azerbaijan characterized by unique semi-desert landscapes.

Opt for the left side if you enjoy wide horizon views and want to catch glimpses of the Caspian Sea in the distance. This side benefits from softer lighting during late afternoon flights, reducing glare on the window.
