Which side of the plane to sit from Pulkovo Airport (St. Petersburg) to Roshchino International Airport (Tyumen)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of Lake Ladoga, the largest lake in Europe, and provides a better angle of the more rugged northern sections of the Ural Mountains before descending into the Siberian plains.
Lake Ladoga
The largest lake in Europe is often visible shortly after departure from Pulkovo, offering an immense blue horizon.
Northwestern Taiga
Vast stretches of pristine coniferous forests and bogs characteristic of the Vologda and Kirov regions.
Northern Ural Peaks
The transition between Europe and Asia features the ancient, rocky ridges of the Ural mountain range.
Tura River Meanders
The winding loops of the Tura River create intricate silver patterns against the Siberian landscape during descent.
Sit on the left for early morning flights to avoid direct glare while seeing the sun illuminate the Ural peaks. During the 'White Nights' of summer, this side provides a stunning view of the never-ending twilight over the northern horizon.
St. Petersburg Skyline
Depending on takeoff direction, you can see the Neva River, Lakhta Center, and the historic city center.
Rybinsk Reservoir
The massive man-made sea and the industrial landscapes of Cherepovets are visible to the south.
Kama River Basin
A major geographic landmark near Perm, where the terrain begins to rise toward the Ural foothills.
West Siberian Plain
A vast, flat expanse of wetlands and agriculture that defines the entrance into the Tyumen region.
Choose the right side for evening flights to catch the sunset over the horizon. If the flight path passes slightly south, you may get a distant glimpse of the city of Perm and its industrial lights during night flights.
