OVB → OMS
Which side of the plane to sit from Tolmachevo Airport (Novosibirsk) to Omsk Central Airport (Omsk)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers the most visually diverse experience, featuring the massive Novosibirsk Reservoir at departure and the sprawling, intricate wetlands of Lake Chany during the mid-flight phase.

Novosibirsk Reservoir
Known as the Ob Sea, this vast body of water is visible immediately after takeoff if departing to the south.
Lake Chany
One of Russia's largest lakes; a shallow, silver-toned saline lake system with a complex network of islands and peninsulas.
Baraba Steppe
A striking patchwork of agricultural fields and birch groves that create a geometric mosaic across the Siberian plains.
Southern Omsk Suburbs
Views of the expanding residential districts and the Irtysh riverbanks during the final approach.
Book a window seat ahead of the wing for unobstructed views of Lake Chany, which is the geometric highlight of this route. For morning flights, the sun will be on this side, so expect high-contrast glints off the water; for evening flights, the sunset over the steppe is spectacular. Winter flights offer a stark, monochromatic beauty with frozen lake patterns.

A panoramic view of Russia's third-largest city, including its iconic bridges over the Ob River during departure.
Ob River Meanders
The winding, powerful curves of the Ob River as it flows north toward the Arctic, visible shortly after takeoff.
Kudryashovskiy Bor
A dense, ancient pine forest located just northwest of Tolmachevo Airport, providing a deep green contrast to the city.
Omsk Industrial Skyline
A clear view of the massive Omsk Refinery and the industrial infrastructure along the Irtysh River during descent.
The right side is ideal for travelers interested in the urban layout of Novosibirsk and Omsk. On a clear day, look for the 'Bugrinsky Bridge' with its massive red arch near Novosibirsk. This side is typically in the shade during westbound morning flights, making it easier to take photos without glare. During winter, the industrial steam plumes over Omsk create a dramatic atmospheric effect.
