NUX → TJM
Which side of the plane to sit from Novy Urengoy Airport (Novy Urengoy) to Roshchino International Airport (Tyumen)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the massive Ob River system, the transition from Arctic tundra to dense taiga, and the spectacular mosaic of the West Siberian wetlands.
Search flights from NUX to TJM
The Mighty Ob River
A magnificent view of the Ob, one of Russia's great rivers, featuring vast floodplains and a complex network of channels.
Nadym River Valley
Early in the flight, see the pristine and winding Nadym River as it flows north toward the Kara Sea.
Vasyugan-style Wetlands
Experience the sheer scale of the world's largest peat bog system, appearing as a multi-colored mosaic of water and moss.
Tyumen Forest-Steppe
Watch the landscape transform into organized agricultural plots and deciduous groves as you approach southern Siberia.
Tyumen Outskirts
Aerial views of the Tura River and the historic urban sprawl of Siberia's oldest city during the final descent.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. Look for 'Zimniks' (winter ice roads) cutting perfectly straight lines across the frozen marshes between December and March—these are the lifelines of the region.

Urengoy Gas Infrastructure
View the sprawling industrial complexes and flares of one of the world's largest natural gas fields immediately after takeoff.
Thermokarst Lakes
Observe thousands of perfectly circular lakes formed by thawing permafrost, creating a unique 'honeycomb' landscape.
Pur River Basin
The intricate, silver meanders of the Pur River system winding through the northern reaches of the Yamal region.
Noyabrsk Forest Line
The visual boundary where the sparse shrubs of the tundra give way to the tall, dark spires of the northern taiga.
Sit toward the rear of the cabin for unobstructed views of the gas fields during the initial climb. In winter, look for the 'Northern Lights' (Aurora Borealis) if flying during the long polar night; the left side faces the magnetic north more directly on this southbound path.
