Which side of the plane to sit from Nizhnevartovsk Airport (Nizhnevartovsk) to Roshchino International Airport (Tyumen)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the massive oil infrastructure around Nizhnevartovsk and Surgut, along with the grand scale of the Ob River's southern meanders.
Samotlor Oil Field
Views of the geometric patterns created by one of the world's largest oil fields surrounding Lake Samotlor.
Surgut Skyline
If the flight path hugs the western route, you can see the industrial silhouette and massive power stations of Surgut.
Yugra Bridge
One of the longest cable-stayed bridges in Siberia, spanning the mighty Ob River near the city of Surgut.
Siberian Sunset
On evening flights, this side catches the sun reflecting off the vast networks of water channels and marshes.
Choose the right side to witness the scale of the Russian energy industry. Watch for 'gas flares' during night flights, which appear as orange pinpricks of light across the dark Siberian landscape.
Ob River Basin
Intricate oxbow lakes and silver water ribbons winding through the Siberian taiga shortly after takeoff.
Endless Taiga
A vast carpet of dark green coniferous forest interspersed with mirror-like swamp pools characteristic of Western Siberia.
Tobolsk Panorama
On a clear day, the distant white-stone walls of the Tobolsk Kremlin can be spotted near the confluence of the Irtysh and Tobol.
Agricultural Transition
The landscape shifts from wild marshland to structured farmland as you descend toward the fertile Tyumen region.
Sit on the left for softer morning light when flying south. Look out for the dramatic contrast between the wild wetlands and the sudden appearance of the historic Tobolsk skyline about mid-flight.
