Search flights from OMS to LED
Northern Urals
Rugged, snow-dusted ridges marking the continental divide, offering more dramatic elevation than the southern sections.
Lake Onega
The deep blue waters of Europe's second-largest lake are often visible to the north during the mid-flight cruise.
Lake Ladoga
A spectacular view of Europe's largest lake, including its many islands and the historic Shlisselburg fortress.
St. Petersburg Panorama
Breathtaking views of the Neva River, the Lakhta Center, and the golden spires of the city center during descent into Pulkovo.
Sit on the right for the best chance to see the 'Venice of the North' during the landing pattern. For the best views of the Ural Mountains, choose a flight during the long summer days (June-July) when the sun stays high in the northern sky, illuminating the peaks clearly.

West Siberian Plain
Vast expanses of untouched taiga and the intricate, meandering tributaries of the Irtysh and Ob rivers.
Ural Foothills
Views of the ancient, weathered peaks of the Ural Mountains as the flight crosses from Asia into Europe.
Rybinsk Reservoir
Glimpses of the massive artificial lake on the Volga River, particularly visible on more southerly flight paths.
Imperial Estates
During the final approach, the historic palaces and parks of Gatchina or Tsarskoye Selo may be visible.
On morning flights, the left side will be shaded, providing better lighting for photography of the Siberian landscape. Watch for the dramatic change in terrain as the flat plains transition into the rolling hills of the Urals about 1.5 hours into the flight.
