Which side of the plane to sit from Sovetskiy Airport (Sovetskiy) to Beloyarskiy Airport (Beloyarsky)?

Our Recommendation
7.4

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides a more dynamic view of the Kazym river systems and the complex hydrology of the West Siberian Plain as the flight heads north.

Right Side Highlights
7.4
🛶

Kazym River Basin

The winding river paths create beautiful meandering patterns as you approach Beloyarsky.

💧

Glacial Lake Clusters

A dense concentration of small lakes and ponds reflecting the sky like scattered mirrors.

🏗️

Energy Hubs

Distant views of oil and gas infrastructure, including pipelines and remote drilling platforms.

🌅

Wetland Glint

On morning flights, the water-saturated soil creates a shimmering effect across the horizon.

Choose the right side for the descent to see the Kazym River wrap around the town of Beloyarsky. During the 'White Nights' of June and July, visibility remains excellent even on late evening flights. Bring polarized sunglasses to reduce the glare from the many lakes and wetlands.

Left Side Highlights

🌲

West Siberian Taiga

Expansive views of the dark coniferous forests that dominate the Khanty-Mansi landscape.

❄️

Winter Geometries

During the long winter, the landscape transforms into a high-contrast white canvas of frozen marshes.

🛤️

Wilderness Trails

Spot remote tracks and firebreaks that represent the only human footprint in this vast forest.

Watch for the deep green hues of the Siberian forest; summer flights offer the best color contrast. In winter, the low sun creates long, dramatic shadows across the snow, highlighting the subtle elevation changes of the plain.
