Immediately after takeoff, enjoy the dramatic sight of the snow-capped Chatkal and Chimgan mountain ranges.
Syr Darya River
The winding path of Central Asia's second-longest river as it provides a green corridor through the arid landscape.
Turgay Depression
A massive geological feature in Kazakhstan that marks a natural lowland between the Urals and the Kazakh Upland.
Ural Mountain Spine
Direct views of the forested ridges that define the continental boundary between Europe and Asia as you enter Russia.
Yekaterinburg Skyline
A clear view of the 'Iset' skyscraper and the modern city center during the final approach into Koltsovo Airport.
Select a seat on the right for the most dramatic mountain scenery. In the first 15 minutes, the views of the Uzbek mountains are spectacular. During winter, this side showcases the stark beauty of the snow-covered Siberian-facing slopes of the Urals. Note that the best lighting for photography on this side occurs during afternoon flights.

Kyzylkum Desert
Vast stretches of the 'Red Sand' desert featuring intricate dune patterns and arid plateaus early in the flight.
Aral Sea Basin
The hauntingly beautiful salt flats and remaining water pockets of the shrinking Aral Sea basin visible to the far west.
Mugodzhar Hills
The low, rugged southern extension of the Ural Mountains located in northwestern Kazakhstan.
Chelyabinsk Region
A view of the industrial landscape and the numerous 'blue eyes' or lakes surrounding the city of Chelyabinsk.
The left side is preferable for morning flights to avoid the harsh eastern sun glare. It offers the best views of the ecological transition from desert to the southern Ural foothills. Keep an eye out for the white reflective salt pans of the Ustyurt region during mid-flight.
