NYA → TJM
Which side of the plane to sit from Nyagan Airport (Nyagan) to Roshchino International Airport (Tyumen)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side of the aircraft offers superior views of the vast West Siberian Plain, specifically the intricate water patterns of the Ob River basin and the sprawling Kondinskoye lake system.
Ob River Floodplains
Aerial perspective of the complex network of oxbow lakes and secondary channels surrounding one of the world's longest river systems.
Lake Kondinskoye
A massive, shallow lake that dominates the landscape midway through the flight, reflecting the sky like a giant mirror.
Oil & Gas Infrastructure
Visible industrial sites, remote pipelines, and gas flares that mark the region's status as an energy hub.
Siberian Peat Bogs
Intricate, brain-like patterns of the Vasyugan-fringe wetlands, particularly striking when dusted with light snow.
Book a window seat on the left for morning flights to see the sun glinting off the countless small lakes. In winter, the frozen river patterns are much more distinct. Keep an eye out for the transition from dense taiga to the more open wetlands of the Khanty-Mansi region.
Endless Taiga Forest
A dense carpet of Siberian spruce and pine stretching toward the horizon, showcasing the scale of the northern wilderness.
Konda River Meanders
The serpentine path of the Konda River provides dramatic geometric shapes as it winds through the green forest.
Distant Ural Silhouette
On rare, exceptionally clear days at cruising altitude, the far western horizon may reveal the faint outline of the Ural Mountains.
Tyumen Approach
Views of the expanding suburbs and industrial outskirts of Tyumen as the plane banks for its final approach into Roshchino.
The right side is ideal for evening flights to avoid direct sun glare while still enjoying the sunset over the horizon. During the descent into TJM, watch for the Tura River which signals the final leg of the journey into Tyumen.
