A breathtakingly symmetrical stratovolcano that dominates the horizon south of the departure path.
Avacha Bay
One of the world's largest natural harbors, visible as the aircraft climbs away from Kamchatka.
Southern Sakhalin
The rugged southern tip of Sakhalin Island, including views near Cape Aniva on clear days.
Sea of Japan Coastline
The dramatic meeting of the Siberian taiga and the sea as you approach the Primorsky region.
Russky Bridge
On specific southern approach patterns, you can spot the world's longest cable-stayed bridge.
Sit on the left (Port) side and try to secure a seat in front of the wing for unobstructed views of the volcanoes. Morning flights are ideal as the sun will be behind you, lighting up the Kamchatka mountains and the Sakhalin coast perfectly.
