Which side of the plane to sit from Platov International Airport (Rostov) to Dushanbe Airport (Dushanbe)?

Caspian Sea Coast
Cross the northern tip of the Caspian Sea, viewing the shallow turquoise waters and the Mangyshlak Peninsula.
Amu Darya River
The 'Oxus' of antiquity appears as a bright green ribbon of life amidst the arid desert landscape.
Fan Mountains
Stunning views of high-altitude glaciers and rugged peaks that form part of the Pamir-Alay system.
Gissar Valley
A lush, fertile basin that provides a scenic backdrop for the approach into Dushanbe Airport.
The right side is superior for sunset flights, as the light hits the Pamir foothills beautifully. Keep your camera ready as you cross the Uzbekistan-Tajikistan border, where the terrain shifts abruptly from flat desert to dramatic mountain ranges. Avoid this side in the morning due to heavy sun glare.

Immediately after take-off from Platov, observe the winding channels and wetlands of the Don River.
Kyzylkum Desert
A vast expanse of red-tinted sand dunes stretching across Uzbekistan as the flight progresses east.
Gissar Range
The massive snow-capped peaks of the Gissar mountains visible to the north during the final descent into Dushanbe.
Samarkand Outskirts
On clear days, the ancient city's modern expansion and surrounding agricultural grids are visible to the north.
Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. This side provides a clearer view of the high Gissar peaks during the arrival phase. Look out for the massive salt flats in western Kazakhstan early in the flight.
