Which side of the plane to sit from Tolmachevo Airport (Novosibirsk) to Koltsovo Airport (Yekaterinburg)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a superior view of the meandering Ob River upon departure and avoids the direct solar glare common on the southern side of this westward route.
Ob River Crossing
Dramatic views of one of the world's longest rivers immediately after departing Tolmachevo Airport.
Vasyugan Marshes
The northern edge of one of the largest swamps in the world, featuring intricate water patterns and peat bogs.
Irtysh River Meanders
Complex, snake-like river bends and oxbow lakes visible as the aircraft cruises over the West Siberian Plain.
Middle Ural Range
Views of the ancient, weathered peaks that mark the traditional boundary between Asia and Europe on approach.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight. Have your camera ready within the first 5 minutes for the Ob River. In winter, this side offers a better perspective of the frost-patterned taiga and frozen river channels.
Omsk Cityscape
Aerial view of the industrial hub where the Om and Irtysh rivers meet roughly halfway through the flight.
Kazakh Steppe Edge
Vast, flat horizons extending toward the southern border, showcasing the transition from forest to steppe.
Southern Ural Foothills
The rising terrain of the Ural range appearing on the horizon during the final descent into Yekaterinburg.
Select the left side for evening flights to experience the sunset over the horizon. Keep an eye out for the city of Omsk approximately 40 minutes after takeoff, as the flight path often passes just north of the city center.
