Which side of the plane to sit from Omsk Central Airport (Omsk) to Novy Urengoy Airport (Novy Urengoy)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a more scenic perspective of the Omsk urban area upon departure and provides better views of the vast Ob River basin and the sprawling gas infrastructure near Novy Urengoy.
Omsk Cityscape
Aerial views of the historic city center and the industrial zones along the Om and Irtysh confluence.
The Ob River Basin
Visibility of one of the world's longest river systems as the flight intersects the massive Ob watershed.
Urengoy Gas Infrastructure
Extensive networks of pipelines and processing plants appearing as a technological grid over the tundra.
Arctic Twilight
On late evening flights, the northern horizon displays deep purples and blues characteristic of the sub-Arctic.
Tundra Transition
Observe the clear boundary where the taiga forest thins out into the mossy, lake-dotted tundra near the destination.
Choose a seat behind the wing for an unobstructed view of the ground. On night flights during winter, keep an eye on the northern horizon for a potential glimpse of the Aurora Borealis as you cross into the Yamalo-Nenets region.
Irtysh River Loops
Intricate meanders and oxbow lakes of the Irtysh River visible shortly after departing Omsk.
Siberian Taiga
Endless expanses of dense coniferous forests that dominate the middle portion of the flight path.
Frozen Wetlands
During winter months, the intricate geometric patterns of frozen marshes create a striking white mosaic.
Distant Gas Flares
The orange glow of industrial gas flares dotting the horizon as the flight moves into the northern territories.
To maximize visibility of the Siberian landscape, opt for a morning flight when the sun illuminates the terrain from the east. In winter, the low sun angle creates long shadows that highlight the subtle topography of the West Siberian Plain.
