Which side of the plane to sit from Platov International Airport (Rostov) to Zvartnots International Airport (Yerevan)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a peerless gallery of the Caucasus' highest peaks, including Europe's tallest mountain, Elbrus, and the iconic Mount Ararat on approach into Yerevan.
Rostov-on-Don
Views of the urban landscape and the Don Arena stadium as the flight gains altitude heading south.
Mount Elbrus
The highest peak in Europe (5,642m) is the star of the mid-flight segment, appearing as a massive double-headed white giant.
Main Caucasian Ridge
A breathtaking panoramic view of the continuous wall of snow-capped peaks separating Russia and Georgia.
Mount Aragats
Armenia's highest point, an extinct volcano with four distinct peaks, visible just before the final approach.
Mount Ararat
The legendary snow-capped mountain of biblical fame dominates the horizon during the landing at Zvartnots.
The right side is the clear winner for landmark seekers. Book a seat behind the wing to ensure your view of Mount Elbrus and Mount Ararat isn't obstructed. Morning flights (7:00 AM - 10:00 AM) are ideal, as the sun will be behind the aircraft, perfectly illuminating the southern faces of the mountains.
Don River Delta
Bird's-eye view of the expansive Don River basin winding through the southern Russian plains shortly after takeoff.
Mount Kazbek
One of the major mountains of the Caucasus, located on the border between Georgia and Russia, featuring a sharp, snowy peak.
Tbilisi
In the distance, the sprawling capital of Georgia can often be spotted as the aircraft crosses into the Transcaucasian region.
Lake Sevan
The largest body of water in Armenia and the Caucasus, known for its changing turquoise colors at high altitude.
Geghama Mountains
A volcanic highland range in Armenia featuring numerous extinct craters visible during the descent.
The left side is superior for viewing Lake Sevan during the final 15 minutes of the flight. For the best clarity of the Georgian peaks and Kazbek, choose a morning flight to avoid the haze that often builds up by mid-afternoon.
