PWQ → DME
Which side of the plane to sit from Pavlodar Airport (Pavlodar) to Domodedovo International Airport (Moscow)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the Irtysh River winding away from Pavlodar, better angles of the Volga-Kama confluence near Kazan, and avoids the direct glare of the southern sun on this westbound route.

Central Ural Mountains
Dense, forested peaks of the ancient Ural range providing a clear geographic marker of the border.

Russian Taiga
Deep green expanses of the Russian forest zone that dominate the landscape before the Moscow region.
DME Forest Approach
Scenic low-altitude views of the thick birch and pine forests surrounding Domodedovo Airport.
The right side is ideal for photography as it remains in the shade during daytime flights. Look out roughly halfway through the flight for the Ural crossing. In winter, the snow-covered Taiga and frozen rivers create a stunning high-contrast landscape.
