Our Recommendation
7.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side of the aircraft offers superior views of the departing Tien Shan mountain range and the dramatic transition from the Kazakh Uplands to the Irtysh River valley near the destination.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🏔️

Tien Shan Foothills

Spectacular distant views of the snow-capped Western Tien Shan peaks during the initial ascent from Tashkent.

⛰️

Saryarka Uplands

The UNESCO-listed Kazakh Uplands feature ancient, eroded mountain massifs and rocky outcrops rising from the flat plains.

💧

Irtysh River

A magnificent view of one of Asia's longest rivers as it winds its way toward Omsk near the end of the journey.

🏙️

Omsk Skyline

A clear view of the historic city center and its industrial zones if the approach path enters from the east.

The right side is best for morning flights to have the sun behind you, illuminating the steppe colors. Try to sit behind the wing to capture the full scale of the Tien Shan range during the climb out of Uzbekistan.

Left Side Highlights
6.5
🌾

Syr Darya Valley

A lush green ribbon of vegetation visible shortly after takeoff, contrasting sharply with the surrounding arid landscapes.

🏜️

Betpak-Dala

Known as the Hunger Steppe, this vast desert-steppe region features unique clay-soil patterns and desolate beauty.

🧂

Northern Salt Lakes

As you cross central Kazakhstan, look for the shimmering white and turquoise surfaces of seasonal salt lakes.

🚜

Siberian Plains

The landscape transforms into a patchwork of agricultural fields and birch forests as you cross into the Omsk region.

Opt for the left side if you are flying in the late afternoon to avoid the direct glare of the setting sun. Watch for the intricate geometric patterns of Soviet-era irrigation systems during the first third of the flight.
