Which side of the plane to sit from Nadym Airport (Nadym) to Roshchino International Airport (Tyumen)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a superior view of the massive Ob and Nadym river systems, which dominate the landscape of the West Siberian Plain.
Nadym River
Detailed meanders and oxbow lakes seen shortly after departure from Nadym Airport.
Arctic Tundra
A mosaic of moss, lichen, and frozen ponds characteristic of the subarctic Yamal region.
Ob River Valley
The flight path often parallels this massive waterway, offering views of its expansive floodplains.
Energy Infrastructure
Remote oil and gas facilities and service roads cutting through the pristine wilderness.
Tyumen Approach
Scenic views of the Tura River and the urban landscape of Tyumen during the final descent.
Opt for the left side for morning departures to witness the sunrise over the Siberian wetlands. Watch for the dramatic change from the silver-grey tundra of the north to the deep emerald green of the southern taiga forests. During winter flights, this side is also excellent for spotting the aurora borealis if the sky is dark.
Taiga Transition
The shift from subarctic tundra to dense coniferous forests as the aircraft moves south.
Ural Mountains
Distant glimpses of the Polar and Subpolar Ural peaks on the western horizon during clear weather.
Vasyugan Swamps
Vast stretches of the world's largest wetland systems appearing to the west of the flight path.
Tobol River
Winding river views as the plane enters the agricultural regions of Tyumen Oblast.
Siberian Horizon
Uninterrupted views of the vast horizon, which are particularly spectacular during sunset flights.
Choose the right side for evening flights to catch the sunset over the West Siberian Plain. Shortly after takeoff, look far to the west; on exceptionally clear days, you can see the snow-capped Ural Mountains. In summer, the perpetual twilight of northern latitudes creates stunning lighting conditions for photography on this side.
