Ob Reservoir
Known as the 'Ob Sea,' this massive body of water is visible immediately after takeoff from OVB.
Lake Ubinskoye
A vast, shallow freshwater lake that dominates the landscape of the Baraba Steppe.
Omsk Cityscape
A clear aerial view of Omsk city and the point where the Om River joins the mighty Irtysh.
Baraba Steppe
A mosaic of salt marshes, birch groves, and agricultural fields unique to Western Siberia.
Sit on the left for the most diverse geographic features. On morning flights, use the window shade to block the southern sun while viewing Lake Ubinskoye. In winter, the high contrast between the frozen white rivers and the dark forest patches is stunning. Keep your camera ready about 25-30 minutes into the flight for the Omsk transit.

Novosibirsk Bridges
A great view of the city's numerous bridges spanning the wide Ob River during initial climb.
Vasyugan Wetlands
The southern edge of the world's largest swamp system, appearing as a complex green and brown tapestry.
Southern Taiga
Dense patches of coniferous forest that begin to dominate the landscape as you head west.
Tyumen Approach
The city of Tyumen and the winding Tura River as the plane descends into Roshchino.
The right side is ideal for travelers interested in the vastness of the Siberian Taiga and the northern wetlands. If landing to the east at TJM, the right side provides a panoramic view of Tyumen's historic center. Sunset flights on this side offer spectacular 'golden hour' reflections off the numerous small lakes and marshes to the north.
