Ufa Panorama
A stunning aerial view of the capital of Bashkortostan, situated at the confluence of the Belaya and Ufa rivers.
Belaya River Curves
The 'White River' meanders significantly, creating beautiful oxbow lakes and silver ribbons through the landscape.
The Samara Bend
The massive 180-degree loop of the Volga River, known as Samarskaya Luka, is clearly visible during the descent.
Zhiguli Mountains
Dramatic limestone hills that rise sharply from the banks of the Volga, providing one of Russia's most iconic river views.
Tolyatti Industrial Hub
Views of the massive automotive city and the sprawling Kuybyshev Reservoir just north of the flight path.
Sit here for the best descent experience. As the plane approaches KUF from the north or east, the right side provides a front-row seat to the Zhiguli Nature Reserve. For sunset flights, be aware of strong light; window shades may be needed until the final approach.

Rolling hills and dense forests of the southern reaches of the Ural mountain range shortly after takeoff.
Chelyabinsk Distant View
On clear days, the industrial horizon of Chelyabinsk is visible to the south-east during the initial cruise phase.
Trans-Ural Steppe
The landscape transitions into vast agricultural plains and forest-steppe typical of the Orenburg border region.
Bashkirian Farmland
A patchwork of colorful agricultural fields that create a geometric quilt pattern across the Republic of Bashkortostan.
Choose this side for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. It provides a better perspective of the vastness of the Eurasian steppe, though landmarks are fewer compared to the right side.
