SVO → NOZ
Which side of the plane to sit from Sheremetyevo International Airport (Moscow) to Spichenkovo Airport (Novokuznetsk)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior lighting for photography throughout the journey as it faces south. It provides a more detailed view of the central Ural Mountains and the massive industrial landscapes of the Kuzbass region during the final descent.

Moscow Suburbs
Catch views of the sprawling eastern urban expansion and satellite cities shortly after departure.
Volga River Crossing
Spectacular views of the massive river systems near Nizhny Novgorod and Cheboksary.
Central Ural Ridge
Optimal lighting to see the terrain elevation changes as the plane transitions into Asia.
Novosibirsk Skyline
Large-scale view of Siberia's largest city and the wide Ob River during the latter half of the flight.
Kuzbass Open-Pit Mines
Colossal industrial excavations that look like tiered canyons during the descent into Novokuznetsk.
Select the right side for the best photography conditions, as the sun will be behind or beside you for most of the eastbound flight. The industrial 'alien' landscapes of the Kuzbass mines are a highlight 20-30 minutes before landing. Be sure to look for the Alatau mountain foothills in the distance to the south as you approach Spichenkovo.

Northern Urals
A dramatic crossing of the Europe-Asia border with views of the rugged, ancient mountain ridges.
Siberian Taiga
Experience the vastness of the world's largest forest, appearing as an endless green sea in summer.
West Siberian Marshes
Intricate geometric patterns of frozen lakes and wetlands visible in winter and spring.
Choose the left side if you are flying during a summer sunset to catch the golden hour glow over the Siberian forests. During the winter, the low northern sun creates dramatic, long shadows across the snow-covered Ural peaks roughly 2 hours into the flight.
