SVO → TOF
Which side of the plane to sit from Sheremetyevo International Airport (Moscow) to Bogashevo Airport (Tomsk)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of major Russian cities along the Volga, the more developed regions of the Ural Mountains, and better lighting for the massive Siberian river systems during eastbound daylight flights.

Moscow Cityscape
Depending on the departure runway, spectacular views of the capital's skyscrapers.
Nizhny Novgorod
The historic confluence of the Volga and Oka rivers, visible about 45 minutes after takeoff.
Kazan
The white walls of the Kazan Kremlin and the wide Volga river bend to the south.
Central Ural Crossing
The continental divide between Europe and Asia, marked by the industrial hubs near Yekaterinburg.
Ob River Crossing
One of the world's longest rivers, appearing as a massive silver ribbon before the descent into Tomsk.
This is the 'sunny' side for most of the flight; keep your window shade down periodically to avoid heating up. The best views occur in the first hour (Volga cities) and the final 40 minutes (Siberian rivers). Ensure you look out during the final approach to see the Tom River, which the airport is named after.

Northern Taiga
Vast stretches of dense coniferous forests extending toward the Russian North.
Northern Ural Peaks
The rugged, less populated transition between Europe and Asia.
Kama River Basin
The intricate network of the upper Kama river winding through the landscape.
Vasyugan Swamp
A glimpse into one of the largest wetlands in the world as you enter the Tomsk region.
Northern Lights Potential
On late-night winter flights, this side offers a chance to spot the Aurora Borealis.
Choose this side for night flights in winter to potentially see the Aurora Borealis. During the day, it offers a more 'wild' view of Russia's untouched wilderness. It is also the darker side of the plane when flying east, which is better for avoiding glare while looking out the window.
