Our Recommendation
9.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side of the aircraft offers a front-row seat to the most dramatic scenery of the Caucasus, including the highest peak in Europe, Mount Elbrus, and the iconic views of Mount Ararat during the descent into Yerevan.

Right Side Highlights
9.2
🏘️

Minsk Skyline

A clear view of the Belarusian capital's layout and architecture if departing toward the south.

🏔️

Mount Elbrus

Europe's highest peak, a massive dormant volcano with twin snow-covered summits.

⛰️

Greater Caucasus Range

A breathtaking panorama of jagged, glaciated peaks as the flight crosses the border into the Caucasus.

🌋

Mount Aragats

Armenia's highest point, a four-peaked extinct volcano visible just before reaching Yerevan.

🗻

Mount Ararat

The legendary snow-capped peak and national symbol of Armenia, dominant on the horizon during landing.

The right side is essential for seeing Mount Ararat, which usually appears as the plane turns for its final approach to Zvartnots. For the best views of the Caucasus range, choose a seat behind the wing to ensure your photo frame is clear of the engine.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🌲

Minsk Forest Belt

Dense, sprawling woodlands and the Minsk Sea reservoir shortly after takeoff from Belarus.

💧

Lake Sevan

The 'Jewel of Armenia' is often visible to the east during the final descent phase.

🌋

Geghama Mountains

A stunning volcanic highland range located to the east of the Armenian capital.

🏙️

Stavropol Highlands

The undulating agricultural plateaus of southern Russia before crossing the mountains.

Sit on the left if you are on a morning flight to avoid direct sunlight. Keep your eyes peeled roughly 20 minutes before landing to spot the turquoise waters of Lake Sevan.
