Caspian Sea Crossing
Expansive views of the deep blue Caspian waters immediately after departing from the Mangystau Peninsula.
Greater Caucasus Range
A continuous silhouette of snow-capped peaks stretching along the southern horizon for much of the cruise phase.
Mount Elbrus
On clear days, the distinct double-peak of Elbrus is visible as a prominent white dome in the distance.
Kuban Agricultural Heartland
Intricate patterns of fertile black-earth fields and irrigation canals characteristic of the Krasnodar region.
Adygea Landscapes
The green foothills and rural settlements of the Republic of Adygea just south of the flight path.
Choose a window seat behind the wing for unobstructed views of the Caucasus. For morning flights, the lighting is perfect as the sun illuminates the northern faces of the mountains. During winter, the contrast between the white peaks and the darker steppe is particularly striking.
