Which side of the plane to sit from Omsk Central Airport (Omsk) to Astana International Airport (Tselinograd)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a superior vantage point for the meandering Irtysh river at takeoff and breathtaking sunsets over the vast Kazakh steppe during evening transits.
Search flights from OMS to TSE
Omsk Industrial Hub
Panoramic views of the Omsk industrial zones and the confluence of the Irtysh and Om rivers upon ascent.
Steppe Horizons
Incredible, unobstructed views of the horizon, perfect for observing the curvature of the earth and vivid sunset colors.
Astana Cityscape
As the plane descends into TSE, see the stark contrast between the empty steppe and the hyper-modern capital architecture.
Trans-Steppe Highway
Follow the long, straight silver thread of the M38 highway connecting the Siberian heartland to the Kazakh capital.
Opt for this side during late afternoon flights for a spectacular sunset. During winter, the snow-covered steppe creates a surreal, minimalist white landscape that is best viewed with polarized sunglasses to reduce snow blindness.

Irtysh River Meanders
Witness the intricate loops and oxbow lakes of the Irtysh river shortly after departing Omsk.
Lake Seletyteniz
A large, shallow endorheic salt lake that creates striking white and blue patterns on the landscape.
Rural Kazakh Settlements
Observe the traditional layout of small villages and agricultural plots dotting the Northern Kazakh plains.
Saryarka Wetlands
View the fringes of the UNESCO-listed steppe and lakes region, known for its unique bird populations.
Recommended for morning flights to avoid direct solar glare. Look out for the numerous small seasonal 'playas' or salt pans that shimmer with a white crust during the dry summer months.
