PKC → KHV
Which side of the plane to sit from Yelizovo Airport (Petropavlovsk) to Khabarovsk-Novy Airport (Khabarovsk)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers an unrivaled front-row seat to the massive Kamchatka volcanoes immediately after takeoff, followed by the rugged northern coastline of the Khabarovsk region.
Koryaksky & Avachinsky
Dominant active volcanoes towering over Yelizovo, visible in incredible detail shortly after wheels up.
Sea of Okhotsk Ice
From January to May, witness massive, intricate patterns of pack ice and floes covering the sea below.
Shantar Islands
Depending on the flight corridor, you may spot the remote and wild archipelago known for bowhead whales.
Amur River Delta
The intricate network of channels and wetlands where one of Asia's longest rivers meets the sea.
Northern Taiga
Endless stretches of untouched Siberian larch forests that change from deep green to bright gold in autumn.
The right side is essential for volcano enthusiasts; ensure you are looking out immediately after takeoff from PKC. Morning flights provide the best lighting for the volcanoes, as the sun hits the eastern slopes. In winter, keep your camera ready for the mesmerizing textures of the frozen Sea of Okhotsk.
Avacha Bay
Stunning aerial views of one of the world's largest natural bays and the Pacific coastline upon departure.
Vilyuchinsky Volcano
A perfectly conical stratovolcano visible to the south as the plane gains altitude over the peninsula.
Sikhote-Alin Range
Fly over the southern reaches of this UNESCO-listed mountain range, home to the Amur tiger.
Ussuri River Confluence
Watch the Ussuri River merge with the mighty Amur near the Chinese border as you approach Khabarovsk.
Khabarovsk Bridge
A clear view of the iconic bridge that appears on the 5,000 Russian ruble note during the final descent.
Sit on the left for the best views of the Pacific horizon and the southern volcanic group (Mutnovsky and Gorely) in the distance. During the final approach to KHV, this side provides a better look at the city center and the expansive riverfront parks.
