SVXKRO

Which side of the plane to sit from Koltsovo Airport (Yekaterinburg) to Kurgan Airport (Kurgan)?

Our Recommendation
6.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides a superior view of the dramatic rocky terrain near Kamensk-Uralsky and a better angle of the Kurgan city layout during the final descent.

Right Side Highlights
6.8
🌲

Sysert Forests

Dense pine and birch forests characteristic of the central Urals southern reaches.

🪨

Iset River Gorges

Look for the famous rocky cliffs and limestone outcrops near Kamensk-Uralsky mid-flight.

🏙️

Kurgan Panorama

A detailed view of the city's residential blocks, industrial zones, and the central Tobol bridge during the final approach.

The right side is best for landmark spotting. Late afternoon flights offer a beautiful golden hour glow over the Iset river rocks. As the flight is very short (under 50 minutes), keep your window shade open from takeoff to landing to catch the shifting terrain.

Left Side Highlights
6.2
🏗️

Aramil Airfield

A quick view of the historic Aramil airport and massive logistics centers immediately after takeoff from SVX.

🌾

Trans-Ural Plains

Endless mosaics of agricultural fields and small groves that signal the transition into the West Siberian Plain.

🌊

Tobol River Valley

The major river of the region winding through the landscape in wide loops as the aircraft begins its descent.

Choose the left side for better views of the morning sun illuminating the fields. It is generally the cooler side of the aircraft on this southeast heading. Watch for the Beloyarskoye Reservoir far in the distance to the north-east shortly after departure.
