SINHEL

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side typically offers more dramatic mountain scenery, including distant views of the Himalayas and the rugged Pamir and Tian Shan ranges of Central Asia, along with a better angle for the descent into Helsinki over the Baltic archipelago.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏔️

Himalayan Vistas

Distant but majestic views of the world's highest mountain range on the northern horizon during clear days.

⛰️

Pamir Mountains

Known as the 'Roof of the World', these high-altitude peaks offer some of the most dramatic terrain on the route.

💧

Caspian Sea

The world's largest inland body of water, featuring unique salt flats and oil rigs visible from high altitude.

🌾

Russian Steppes

An endless expanse of vast plains and unique agricultural patterns across southern Russia.

🚢

Gulf of Finland

Stunning views of the thousands of islands in the Finnish archipelago during the descent into Vantaa.

The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. Keep your camera ready over Central Asia for the Pamir Mountains. Since the route often skirts geopolitical zones, check live flight trackers like FlightRadar24 to see if the current path goes North (Arctic) or South (Central Asia).

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏝️

Andaman Islands

Lush tropical islands and coral reefs visible shortly after departure over the Bay of Bengal.

🏜️

Deccan Plateau

A massive geographic region in India featuring varied topography and ancient rock formations.

🏔️

Caucasus Range

Breathtaking views of snow-capped peaks, including Mount Elbrus, the highest point in Europe.

🌊

Black Sea

Vibrant blue waters contrasting with the green coastlines of Georgia and Turkey.

🏰

Eastern Europe

Aerial views of historical cities and winding rivers like the Danube as you traverse toward the Baltics.

Choose the left side for sunset views if you are on a late afternoon flight. This side is also superior for viewing the sunset over the Black Sea or the Baltic Sea during the final stages of the journey.
