Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

This side offers a dramatic departure with views of the Greater Caucasus and a scenic arrival near the Tien Shan foothills, plus the unique coastal geology of the Mangyshlak region.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏔️

Greater Caucasus Peaks

Spectacular views of the snow-capped Russian mountains shortly after takeoff from Mineralnye Vody.

🌀

Karabogazgol Lagoon

A massive, shallow salt lagoon known for its surreal white salt crusts and mineral-rich waters.

🐚

Mangyshlak Peninsula

Unique geological formations including the depressions of the Mangystau region near the Caspian shore.

⛰️

Western Tien Shan

The rugged mountain ranges surrounding Tashkent emerge during the final descent into Uzbekistan.

This is the premier choice for mountain lovers. Sit forward of the wing to capture the Caucasus peaks during takeoff. On afternoon flights, the sun will be behind you, providing excellent golden-hour lighting for the desert canyons and the final approach into Tashkent.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🌊

Northern Caspian Coast

The transition from the Russian steppe to the vast turquoise waters of the world's largest inland sea.

🏜️

Ustyurt Plateau

A desolate and mesmerizing landscape of chalk escarpments and limestone cliffs in western Kazakhstan.

📉

Aral Sea Basin

Distant views of the shrinking Aral Sea and the vast desert that now occupies the former seabed.

🏘️

Nukus Oasis

The green ribbons of the Amu Darya river delta cutting through the harsh Kyzylkum Desert sands.

Choose this side for views of the remote northern Silk Road route. Morning flights provide the best lighting for the Ustyurt Plateau without the glare of the southern sun. Ensure you have a window seat away from the wing to see the subtle color shifts of the desert.
