Our Recommendation
8.7

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.

Left Side Highlights
8.7
๐ŸŒŠ

Irtysh River Meanders

Aerial views of the winding Irtysh river valley immediately after departing Omsk.

๐ŸŒพ

Kazakh Steppe

An endless expanse of golden plains and salt lakes as you cross into Kazakhstan.

๐Ÿ’ง

Caspian Sea Horizon

The deep blue waters of the Caspian Sea appearing as you transition toward the Caucasus.

๐Ÿ”๏ธ

Greater Caucasus Peaks

Dramatic snow-capped ridges of the Caucasus Mountains forming a natural border.

๐Ÿ’Ž

Lake Sevan

Armenia's high-altitude 'Blue Pearl' visible in its entirety during the descent.

๐ŸŒ‹

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.

Right Side Highlights
6.4
๐Ÿ™๏ธ

Omsk Cityscape

A comprehensive view of the Omsk city center and the confluence of the Om and Irtysh rivers.

๐Ÿœ๏ธ

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.

โœˆ๏ธ

Zvartnots Architecture

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 massifโ€”the highest point in modern Armeniaโ€”on the right side during the descent.
