Western Tian Shan
Breathtaking views of the snow-covered Chatkal and Ugam mountain ranges just minutes after takeoff from TAS.
Charvak Reservoir
The bright turquoise waters of this mountain lake are often visible nestled among the rugged peaks.
Kazakh Steppe
The endless, golden horizon of the Great Steppe, showing the vastness of the Central Asian interior.
Southern Ural Mountains
The ancient, weathered ridges of the Ural range, marking the geographic boundary between Asia and Europe.
Kama River Confluence
As you descend into Kazan, look for the massive merging point where the Kama River joins the mighty Volga.
For the best experience, book a window seat away from the wing on the right. The first 30 minutes offer the most scenic mountain views. During afternoon flights, the sun will be behind you or on the opposite side, providing perfect lighting for photography of the landscape below.

Tashkent Skyline
A panoramic view of Uzbekistan's capital including the TV Tower and the modern city center during initial climb.
Kyzylkum Desert
Witness the intricate red sand ripples and desert patterns of one of Central Asia's largest deserts.
Ustyurt Plateau
Stark, lunar-like landscapes and dramatic cliffs that mark the transition between the desert and the Aral basin.
Samara Bend
The massive, sweeping curve of the Volga River as it navigates around the Zhiguli Mountains near Samara.
The left side is best for those who enjoy desert geography and the unique textures of the Aral Sea region. Note that on afternoon flights, this side faces the sun, which may cause significant glare and heat. Keep your window shade down during the mid-flight desert crossing if the light is too intense.
