TJM → EVN
Which side of the plane to sit from Roshchino International Airport (Tyumen) to Zvartnots International Airport (Yerevan)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is the definitive choice for this route, offering a majestic view of Mount Elbrus (Europe's highest peak) mid-flight and an unparalleled perspective of the iconic Mount Ararat during the descent into Yerevan.

Volga River Bend
The massive, winding artery of the Volga River near Saratov and Samara, showcasing the scale of Russia's water systems.
Mount Elbrus
The twin-peaked dormant volcano and highest point in Europe, standing out distinctly from the rest of the Caucasus range.
Stavropol Highlands
Lush green rolling hills and agricultural patterns of the North Caucasus region.
Mount Ararat
The breathtaking biblical mountain that dominates the horizon. On descent into EVN, the right side typically gets the most direct view of its snow-capped peaks.
Sit on the right for the ultimate 'arrival' experience. Approximately 20 minutes before landing, the plane often maneuvers to align with the runway, giving right-side passengers a clear, unobstructed view of both Great and Little Ararat. For the best photography of Elbrus mid-flight, a midday departure is ideal to minimize glare and maximize the mountain's white contrast.

Siberian-Kazakh Steppes
The vast, golden expanse of the borderlands between Russia and Kazakhstan, visible shortly after departure from Tyumen.
Mount Kazbek
One of the major peaks of the Caucasus, often visible rising above the clouds on the eastern horizon.
Lake Sevan
The 'Jewel of Armenia,' this massive high-altitude lake is a stunning turquoise sight as you enter Armenian airspace.
Vladikavkaz Skyline
The sprawling urban center at the foot of the Greater Caucasus mountains, indicating you are about to cross the range.
The left side is particularly rewarding on early morning flights when the rising sun illuminates the eastern slopes of the Caucasus. It also provides the best views of Lake Sevan just before the aircraft begins its final turn toward Zvartnots. Keep your camera ready as you cross the Russian-Georgian border for deep mountain gorge views.
