OMS โ EVN
Which side of the plane to sit from Omsk Central Airport (Omsk) to Zvartnots International Airport (Yerevan)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a front-row seat to the most iconic landmarks of the South Caucasus, including the stunning Lake Sevan and the unparalleled approach view of Mount Ararat.
Irtysh River Meanders
Aerial views of the winding Irtysh river valley immediately after departing Omsk.
Kazakh Steppe
An endless expanse of golden plains and salt lakes as you cross into Kazakhstan.
Caspian Sea Horizon
The deep blue waters of the Caspian Sea appearing as you transition toward the Caucasus.
Greater Caucasus Peaks
Dramatic snow-capped ridges of the Caucasus Mountains forming a natural border.
Lake Sevan
Armenia's high-altitude 'Blue Pearl' visible in its entirety during the descent.
Mount Ararat
The majestic, snow-covered volcanic massif dominating the horizon on final approach to Yerevan.
Choose the left side for the best photography of Mount Ararat. On a clear day, the mountain appears roughly 10-15 minutes before landing. For morning flights, the sun will be behind you, providing excellent lighting for the Caucasus peaks and Lake Sevan. Ensure your window is clean for the descent over the Armenian highlands.
Omsk Cityscape
A comprehensive view of the Omsk city center and the confluence of the Om and Irtysh rivers.
Ustyurt Plateau Edge
The rugged, arid terrain of the northern Caspian depression and rocky outcrops.
Mount Elbrus
Europe's highest peak can often be spotted as a distant white cone on the western horizon.
Yerevan Outskirts
The reddish tuff stone architecture of the city's western districts during the final turn.
Zvartnots Architecture
A close-up view of the unique Soviet-era circular terminal as the plane taxis.
The right side is ideal for viewing the takeoff over Omsk. During mid-flight, scan the western horizon for the peaks of the Western Caucasus. While you miss the direct view of Lake Sevan, you may catch a glimpse of the Aragats mountain massifโthe highest point in modern Armeniaโon the right side during the descent.
