SGC → UFA
Which side of the plane to sit from Surgut Airport (Surgut) to Ufa International Airport (Ufa)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior perspective of the sprawling West Siberian wetlands and a more dramatic angle of the southern Ural Mountain ranges as you cross from Asia into Europe.
Ob River Delta
Witness the immense scale of one of Siberia's great rivers and its complex network of tributaries immediately after takeoff from Surgut.
Vasyugan Wetlands
Marvel at the intricate 'lace' patterns of one of the world's largest swamp systems, visible as a mosaic of water and peat.
Southern Ural Peaks
On a clear day, the rugged silhouettes of Mount Iremel and the surrounding ridges provide a spectacular landmark during the mid-flight crossing.
Bashkortostan Highlands
The transition from the flat Siberian taiga to the rolling, densely forested hills of the Ufa plateau creates a striking visual change.
Belaya River (Agidel)
The winding silver thread of the Belaya River guides the aircraft's path during the final descent into the Bashkir capital.
For the most dramatic views of the Ural Mountains, opt for an afternoon flight when the sun illuminates the western slopes. A seat behind the wing is recommended to capture the vast scale of the Siberian marshes without obstruction.
Surgut Bridge
Look for the iconic Yugorskiy Bridge, one of the longest cable-stayed bridges in Siberia, shortly after departure.
Endless Taiga
Experience the sheer scale of the Russian wilderness with an uninterrupted view of the deep green coniferous forest stretching to the northern horizon.
Central Ural Ridge
The aircraft crosses the continental border between Asia and Europe, offering views of the primary mountain spine and deep valleys.
Ural Industrial Belt
Spot occasional industrial clusters and mining sites nestled in the foothills, highlighting the region's rich mineral history.
Ufa Outskirts
Enjoy views of the expansive industrial and residential outskirts of Ufa as the plane aligns for landing at UFA airport.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight glare. Keep your camera ready during the first 10 minutes for a potential view of the Surgut cityscape and the massive energy infrastructure of the region.
