TJM → NUX
Which side of the plane to sit from Roshchino International Airport (Tyumen) to Novy Urengoy Airport (Novy Urengoy)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior perspective of the vast Ob River basin and provides the best lighting during the late afternoon sunsets common on this northbound route.

Tyumen Cityscape
Aerial view of the historic center and the modern Tura River embankment shortly after takeoff.
Ob River Basin
Distant but massive views of the floodplains and tributaries of one of the world's longest river systems.
Siberian Taiga
Dense, endless carpets of dark coniferous forest that dominate the landscape of the middle flight segment.
Arctic Sunset
Dramatic, long-lasting golden hour and sunset views over the flat horizon on evening flights.
Choose a window seat on the left for evening flights to witness the spectacular Siberian sunset. During winter months, the contrast between the dark green pines and white snow is most striking on this side. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes after takeoff for the best views of the Tura River's meanders.

Thermokarst Lakes
Thousands of perfectly circular 'puddle' lakes formed by the melting of permafrost in the northern regions.
Urengoy Gas Flares
Bright orange gas flares from the world's second-largest natural gas field, especially visible during night flights.
Industrial Arteries
A web of pipelines, utility lines, and 'zimnik' (winter roads) cutting straight lines through the wilderness.
Tundra Transition
The visible shift from dense forest to the sparse, low-lying shrubbery of the Arctic tundra as you cross the Arctic Circle.
The right side is ideal for passengers arriving in the evening or during the Polar Night, as the industrial gas flares create a surreal orange glow against the dark landscape. Look for the geometric patterns of the Urengoy gas field infrastructure as the plane begins its descent into NUX.
