SVOTJM

Our Recommendation
7.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers superior views of the major river systems including the Volga and Kama, as well as a higher probability of seeing the Moscow skyline and the sprawling agricultural landscapes of central Russia.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🏙️

Moscow Cityscape

Distant but distinct views of the 'Seven Sisters' and Moscow City skyscrapers during the initial climb out of SVO.

🌉

The Volga Crossing

Spectacular views of the mighty Volga River near Nizhny Novgorod, where the river bends sharply south.

🚜

Tatarstan Plains

Richly patterned agricultural fields that create a geometric mosaic in the regions of Tatarstan and Bashkortostan.

🏭

Industrial Urals

The outskirts of major industrial hubs on the eastern slopes of the Urals, signaling the entry into Siberia.

For the best experience, choose a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. On evening flights, the right side captures the sunset colors over the Russian steppe. Watch for the dramatic change in terrain as the flat plains suddenly give way to the Ural foothills roughly 90 minutes into the flight.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🌲

Taiga Transition

Dense clusters of the northern Russian forest that begin to dominate the landscape as the plane moves east.

🌊

Gorky Reservoir

A massive man-made sea on the Volga River, visible as a vast blue expanse to the north of the flight path.

⛰️

Northern Ural Ridges

The ancient, rounded peaks of the Ural Mountains, marking the natural boundary between Europe and Asia.

💧

West Siberian Wetlands

The intricate, maze-like patterns of the Tura River basin and its surrounding marshes near Tyumen.

Sit on the left for softer lighting during daylight hours as the sun remains to the south. In winter, this side offers a better chance to spot the Aurora Borealis if flying during the peak of a geomagnetic storm at night.
