Which side of the plane to sit from Omsk Central Airport (Omsk) to Heydar Aliyev International Airport (Baku)?

The right side is superior for this route as it offers the most dramatic views of the Greater Caucasus mountain range and the Baku city skyline during the descent into Heydar Aliyev International Airport.

Southern Ural Foothills
The tail end of the Ural Mountains provides rugged terrain views during the first third of the journey.
Greater Caucasus Range
Stunning, snow-capped peaks of the Caucasus Mountains emerge as the plane prepares for its descent into Azerbaijan.
Baku City Skyline
Clear views of the Flame Towers, the Caspian waterfront, and the modern architectural landscape of the capital.
Offshore Oil Rigs
The famous 'Oil Rocks' and various offshore platforms dotting the Caspian Sea are often visible on the final approach.
The right side is the 'scenic side' for landing. For the best experience, try to book a window seat away from the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Caucasus Mountains. If arriving at sunset, the mountains are often bathed in a spectacular golden glow.
