Which side of the plane to sit from Nizhnevartovsk Airport (Nizhnevartovsk) to Omsk Central Airport (Omsk)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side offers superior views of the winding Irtysh River and the dramatic urban approach into Omsk, including the confluence of the Om and Irtysh rivers.
Oil Fields
The industrial heart of the region, featuring vast networks of pipelines and extraction sites near the start of the journey.
Irtysh River Meanders
Spectacular views of the silver, winding river as the flight path parallels the water valley south of Tara.
Omsk Skyline
A comprehensive view of Omsk's urban layout, including its historic center and industrial districts during descent.
Om-Irtysh Confluence
The exact point where the Om River flows into the Irtysh, located in the very heart of Omsk.
On the final approach to Omsk Central (OMS), the aircraft typically banks towards the river, offering a clear view of the city's green spaces and the massive Omsk Refinery. Evening flights are particularly beautiful as the sun sets over the West Siberian Plain.
Ob River Basin
Vast braided river channels and sandbars visible shortly after takeoff from Nizhnevartovsk.
Vasyugan Swamp
The edge of the world's largest peat bog, showing an alien-like landscape of moss and water.
Siberian Taiga
Unending stretches of dense coniferous forest interspersed with thousands of small, circular lakes.
This side faces the morning sun on southbound flights; use a polarizing filter to capture the deep blues of the marshlands. In winter, the low sun creates long, dramatic shadows across the snow-covered forest canopy.
