SVX → TAS
Which side of the plane to sit from Koltsovo Airport (Yekaterinburg) to Tashkent International Airport (Tashkent)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a superior vantage point for the dramatic transition from the Southern Ural foothills to the spectacular snow-capped peaks of the Western Tien Shan mountains during the descent into Uzbekistan.

Southern Ural Mountains
View the rugged, forest-covered ridges of the southern tail of the Ural range shortly after departure.
Kazakh Steppe
A vast, seemingly endless expanse of golden-brown grasslands and rolling hills across central Kazakhstan.
Shalkar Lake
A significant and shimmering alkaline lake that stands out amidst the arid steppe landscape.
Kyzylkum Desert
Intricate patterns of red sand dunes and sparse vegetation characteristic of one of Central Asia's largest deserts.
Western Tien Shan
Breathtaking views of the snow-dusted peaks and deep valleys of the Chatkal range as you approach Tashkent.
Opt for the left side on morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the southern sun. The highlight is the final 30 minutes of the flight when the Tien Shan mountains appear; ensure your window is clear for high-altitude photography of the mountain ridges.

Iset River
Watch the winding path of the Iset river as it flows south from the Yekaterinburg region.
Mugodzhar Hills
The low, rocky southern extension of the Ural Mountains providing a textured geological transition.
Syr Darya River
A vital life-giving artery visible as a green ribbon of vegetation cutting through the desert sands.
Baikonur Vicinity
While the cosmodrome itself is distant, the vast, empty plains of the region offer a sense of extreme isolation.
Tashkent Skyline
A great view of the expanding Uzbek capital, including the TV Tower and modern urban developments during the final turn.
The right side is ideal for late afternoon or sunset flights, as the sun sets over the desert horizon, creating long shadows across the dunes. Look for the distinct contrast between the irrigated green zones and the surrounding parched earth near the Syr Darya.
