Caspian Sea Crossing
The flight begins with a long stretch over the world's largest inland body of water, showing deep blue hues and industrial oil platforms.
Lesser Caucasus Ridges
Dramatic views of the folded mountain ranges as you cross from the Azerbaijani plains into Armenian airspace.
Ararat Plain
The fertile agricultural heartland of Armenia, characterized by a patchwork of green fields against an arid backdrop.
Mount Ararat
The legendary snow-capped dormant volcano and national symbol of Armenia, visible in its full glory to the south of the flight path.
Sit on the left for the best chance to see Mount Ararat. As the flight is relatively short and moves west, afternoon flights provide excellent illumination of the mountain slopes, while sunset flights offer a majestic silhouette of the peak against the orange sky.

Absheron Peninsula
View of the Azerbaijani coastline and the distant sprawl of Baku as the aircraft makes landfall from the Caspian.
Greater Caucasus
On clear days, the massive, glaciated peaks of the Greater Caucasus range are visible far to the north.
Lake Sevan
One of the largest high-altitude freshwater lakes in Eurasia, known for its changing turquoise and navy colors.
Mount Aragats
The highest point in Armenia, a four-peaked volcanic massif that dominates the horizon north of Yerevan.
The right side is ideal for spotting the high-altitude Lake Sevan. In winter, the view of the snow-covered Greater Caucasus to the north is spectacular. Morning flights are best for this side to avoid the harsh glare of the sun when looking toward the southern peaks.
