Which side of the plane to sit from Omsk Central Airport (Omsk) to Khanty Mansiysk Airport (Khanty-Mansiysk)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic meanders of the Irtysh River and the vast, complex water networks of the West Siberian Plain.
Irtysh River Meanders
Stunning views of the massive river carving deep, serpentine loops and crescent-shaped oxbow lakes throughout the flight.
Vasyugan Wetlands
Glimpses of the world's largest peat bog system, appearing as a shimmering mosaic of moss, peat, and standing water.
Ob-Irtysh Confluence
During the descent into Khanty-Mansiysk, witness the dramatic point where the Irtysh River meets the even larger Ob River.
Red Dragon Bridge
On final approach, look for the iconic bright red bridge spanning the Irtysh, a landmark of Khanty-Mansiysk.
Sit here for morning flights to have the sun behind you, providing the best lighting for photography. Keep your camera ready during the last 20 minutes of the flight when the river geography becomes most spectacular near the destination.
Omsk Cityscape
A clear view of the industrial and residential districts of Omsk and the Trans-Siberian Railway bridges upon departure.
West Siberian Taiga
Continuous stretches of dense coniferous forests and remote forestry roads spanning the Tyumen region.
Northern Farmland
The transition from organized agricultural plots near Omsk to the wild, untouched Siberian wilderness.
On late afternoon flights, this side receives the full intensity of the setting sun; use the window shade if the glare on the many small lakes becomes too bright. It is ideal for seeing the dark, dense clusters of the deep taiga.
