Our Recommendation
8.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior view of the dramatic ecological landscape of the Aral Sea and the vast expanse of the Northern Caspian Sea, followed by the approach to the Dnieper River basin.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🏜️

Aral Sea Remnants

Witness the stark and haunting beauty of the receding Aral Sea and the newly formed Aralkum Desert.

🌊

Northern Caspian Sea

A vast blue horizon as the flight crosses the world's largest inland body of water near its northern shores.

πŸ”οΈ

Distant Caucasus Peaks

On exceptionally clear days, the snow-capped northern ridges of the Greater Caucasus Mountains may be visible on the southern horizon.

βš“

Sea of Azov

Glances of the shallowest sea in the world and the narrow Kerch Strait connecting to the Black Sea.

🌾

Ukrainian Steppe

The transition into the fertile black-soil plains of Southern and Central Ukraine.

Sit on the left for the best views of the Aral Sea about 1 hour after departure. If the flight is during the afternoon, the sun will be on this side, so bring sunglasses for the glare off the Caspian Sea. Look for the distinct turquoise hues of the water against the desert sand.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
🌡

Kyzylkum Desert

Expansive views of the red sands and dunes of Central Asia shortly after takeoff from Tashkent.

πŸ—ΊοΈ

Ustyurt Plateau

The rugged, elevated landscape between the Aral and Caspian seas featuring dramatic cliffs.

πŸ’§

Volga River Delta

The massive, green labyrinth of water channels where Europe's longest river meets the Caspian Sea.

πŸ™οΈ

Kiev Cityscape

During the final approach to KBP, the Dnieper River and the golden domes of the city are often visible.

The right side is ideal for seeing the intricate Volga Delta near Astrakhan. During the descent into Boryspil, this side often provides a better panorama of the Dnieper River and the Kiev metropolitan area, especially if the plane approaches from the east or north.
