Which side of the plane to sit from Tashkent International Airport (Tashkent) to Khrabrovo Airport (Kaliningrad)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior perspective of the Aral Sea's dramatic landscape, the lush Volga Delta, and the iconic Curonian Spit during the arrival sequence into Kaliningrad.
Kyzylkum Desert
A striking view of the 'Red Sand' desert shortly after departure from Tashkent.
Aral Sea Basin
A somber yet fascinating view of the receding waters and the dry sea beds of the Northern Aral Sea.
Volga River Delta
The intricate green network of one of the world's largest river deltas as it flows into the Caspian.
Minsk and Belovezhskaya
Distant views of the Belarusian capital followed by the ancient primary forests near the border.
Curonian Spit
The spectacular UNESCO sand dunes and thin peninsula separating the lagoon from the Baltic Sea on arrival.
Look out the window approximately 50 minutes after takeoff for the Aral Sea. This side is consistently better for the descent into Kaliningrad, as the flight path often curves over the Baltic coastline, offering views of the Curonian Spit. It is the preferred side for morning and afternoon flights to avoid direct sunlight.
Ustyurt Plateau
Vast and desolate desert landscapes featuring unique clay formations between Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan.
Southern Caspian Sea
Expansive views of the world's largest inland sea as the flight crosses towards the Russian border.
Volgograd and Don River
Aerial views of the historic city of Volgograd and the winding bends of the Don River.
Belarusian Highlands
Dense pine forests and the undulating green terrain of Central Europe's vast plains.
While the sun may cause glare on this side during southern transits, it provides the best chance to spot the distant peaks of the Caucasus Mountains on exceptionally clear days. Recommended for evening flights to catch the sunset over the European continent.
