Which side of the plane to sit from Pulkovo Airport (St. Petersburg) to Lankaran International Airport (Lankaran)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a superior vantage point for the dramatic shift from the industrial Russian interior to the vast Caspian coastline.
St. Petersburg Panorama
Breathtaking takeoff views of the Neva River, the Hermitage, and the Gulf of Finland coastline.
Volga River Basin
Crossing the winding path of Europe's longest river as it snakes through the southern Russian plains.
Southern Industrial Hubs
Bird's-eye view of the sprawling industrial landscapes and power grids of the Voronezh and Rostov regions.
Caspian Sea Horizon
As the plane descends, enjoy the transition from land to the sparkling turquoise waters of the western Caspian.
Choose the left side for morning departures to capture the sunrise reflecting off the Russian river systems. It is also the best side for viewing the Absheron Peninsula coastline during the final descent into Lankaran. Avoid the wings for the best coastal views.
Central Russian Upland
Aerial views of the expansive forests and agricultural heartlands of central and southern Russia.
Greater Caucasus Peaks
Distant, majestic views of the snow-capped Caucasus range to the west as the plane enters Azerbaijani airspace.
Talysh Mountains
Lush, green mountain slopes bordering the Iranian frontier, visible during the final approach path.
Subtropical Lowlands
The unique sight of tea plantations and citrus groves that define the Lankaran region's microclimate.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to enjoy the sunset over the Caucasus Mountains. Keep your camera ready during the descent for a view of the dense Hirkan National Park forests, which look especially vibrant in autumn.
