Our Recommendation
7.8

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.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🏙️

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.
