Which side of the plane to sit from Tashkent International Airport (Tashkent) to Karshi Khanabad Airport (Khanabad)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of the rising Tian Shan foothills to the east and the diverse agricultural and mountainous terrain of the Jizzakh region.
Tashkent Southern Districts
Bird's-eye view of the capital's rapid expansion and green residential zones upon departure.
Western Tian Shan
Distant but impressive views of the snow-capped Chatkal and Ugam mountain ranges to the east.
Syr Darya River
A clear view of one of Central Asia's most vital waterways as the aircraft crosses it south of Tashkent.
Nuratau Mountains
Rugged ridges appearing to the south and east as the flight progresses toward the Karshi steppe.
Jizzakh Oases
Rich patterns of irrigated farmland contrasting sharply with the arid surroundings.
Book a window seat on the left for morning departures to have the sun behind you, illuminating the mountains. This side provides the best perspective on the transition from the fertile Fergana Valley edge to the southern plains. Look for the ancient trade routes that roughly parallel the flight path.
TAS Airport Complex
A full view of the Tashkent International Airport runways and terminal infrastructure shortly after takeoff.
Kyzylkum Desert Fringe
The eastern edges of the vast red sand desert visible as the landscape flattens to the west.
Aydar Lake System
In clear weather, the distant blue shimmer of the massive Aydarkul reservoir can be spotted to the northwest.
Mirzachul Steppe
The 'Hungry Steppe' showcasing massive Soviet-era irrigation projects and cotton fields.
Choose the right side for evening flights to enjoy spectacular sunsets over the desert horizon. It is also the best side for observing the technical layout of Tashkent International during the initial climb. Bring binoculars to spot the distant Aydar Lake on clear days.
