Which side of the plane to sit from Koltsovo Airport (Yekaterinburg) to Surgut Airport (Surgut)?
Left Side of the Plane
The Left Side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic transition from the Ural foothills to the sprawling, water-logged West Siberian Plain, featuring better views of the massive Ob River system upon approach.

Yekaterinburg Panorama
Aerial view of the Iset River and the dense urban core of the Urals' capital immediately after takeoff.
Northern Taiga
An endless canopy of deep green coniferous forests stretching toward the Arctic horizon.
Konda Lowlands
A mosaic of thousands of small glacial lakes and peat bogs characteristic of the Khanty-Mansi region.
The Mighty Ob
Views of one of the world's longest rivers, featuring a complex network of braided channels and floodplains.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the harsh eastern sun. Keep your camera ready during the final 20 minutes of the flight; the way the Ob River winds through the wetlands is spectacular, especially during the spring thaw when the water levels are high and the landscape turns into a mirror.

Industrial Landscapes
Glimpses of the massive energy infrastructure and logistics hubs that power the Russian oil industry.
Surgut City Grid
A clear view of the planned urban layout of Surgut, one of the wealthiest cities in Siberia.
Yugorsky Bridge
The iconic cable-stayed bridge spanning the Ob River, one of the longest in Siberia, visible on the final approach.
Gas Flares
On night flights, look for the distinct orange glows of gas flares from distant oil fields on the horizon.
The right side is ideal for night flights as you can spot the orange 'crowns' of gas flares in the distance. During the day, it provides a better view of the Yugorsky Bridge and the industrial heart of Surgut if the aircraft approaches from the west (Runway 07).
