OVB → DME
Which side of the plane to sit from Tolmachevo Airport (Novosibirsk) to Domodedovo International Airport (Moscow)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the central Ural peaks and the iconic Moscow skyline as the plane approaches Domodedovo from the east.
Siberian Taiga
Endless stretches of the West Siberian Plain's unique forest and marshland ecosystem stretch to the horizon.
Central Urals
Glance at the rugged terrain near Yekaterinburg, marking the continental boundary between Europe and Asia.
Kama River
A stunning view of the Volga's largest tributary, known for its wide, winding path and heavily forested banks.
Moscow Skyline
On the final approach to DME, the right side often provides views of the Kremlin and Moscow City skyscrapers to the northwest.
Ideal for evening flights to catch the sunset over the horizon. Keep your camera ready during the final 20 minutes of the flight for the best aerial views of the Moscow metropolitan area and its ring roads.
Ob Reservoir
Known as the Ob Sea, this massive body of water is visible south of the flight path shortly after takeoff.
Omsk
View the confluence of the Irtysh and Om rivers as the flight crosses over this major Siberian hub.
Southern Urals
Witness the ancient, weathered peaks of the Ural range as you cross from Asia into Europe.
Volga River
Cross over Russia's most iconic river near the historic city of Kazan, offering expansive water views.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the harsh northern sun. Watch for the dramatic change in landscape from the flat Siberian plains to the rolling Ural foothills about halfway through the journey.
