Our Recommendation
9.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides the most iconic views of the Greater Caucasus range, including the distant peak of Mount Elbrus and the legendary silhouette of Mount Ararat upon arrival.

Right Side Highlights
9.2
🏔️

Mount Elbrus

On clear days, the twin-peaked summit of Europe's highest mountain is visible to the west as you cross the North Caucasus.

🌋

Mount Kazbek

One of the major mountains of the Caucasus, a majestic dormant stratovolcano located on the border between Georgia and Russia.

🗻

Mount Ararat

The most significant highlight of the trip; the snow-capped volcanic massif dominates the horizon as the plane approaches Yerevan.

🏙️

Yerevan City View

Excellent views of the 'Pink City' and its unique urban layout during the final approach into Zvartnots.

The right side is essential for the best view of Mount Ararat. Try to book a morning flight to see the mountain peaks before the midday haze or afternoon clouds set in. During the descent, keep your camera ready for the sudden appearance of the Ararat massif.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🌊

Volga River Delta

Expansive views of the winding Volga river system and its fertile banks shortly after departing Saratov.

🏔️

Eastern Caucasus Peaks

A panorama of the rugged eastern section of the Greater Caucasus mountain range as you cross the Russian border.

💎

Lake Sevan

Armenia's largest body of water, known as the 'Jewel of Armenia,' visible during the descent into the Armenian highlands.

Sit on the left if you want to see Lake Sevan clearly during the descent. Morning flights are ideal for the left side as the sun will be behind you or overhead, providing clear illumination of the Armenian landscape without glare.
