Which side of the plane to sit from Roshchino International Airport (Tyumen) to Sovetskiy Airport (Sovetskiy)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior perspective of Tyumen's urban layout upon departure and more frequent views of the complex Siberian river systems and wetland patterns throughout the journey north.
Tyumen City Panorama
A clear view of the regional capital's skyline and the intersection of historic and modern districts.
Konda River Basin
Spectacular views of intricate oxbow lakes and the silver-blue threads of the Konda river system.
Energy Infrastructure
Signs of the region's oil and gas heritage, including visible pipeline clearings and occasional industrial sites.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct glare. Bring binoculars to spot the wildlife in the marshlands near Sovetskiy. During the winter months, the frozen wetlands create geometric white patterns that are best viewed from this side.
Tura River Serpentines
Immediately after takeoff, witness the dramatic winding paths of the Tura River as it carves through the landscape.
Pristine Taiga Forest
Vast, unbroken stretches of deep green coniferous forest typical of the Western Siberian Plain.
Isolated Settlements
Occasional glimpses of remote Siberian villages and hunting outposts disconnected from major road networks.
Opt for an afternoon flight to see the landscape illuminated by a low western sun, which highlights the texture of the forest and the depth of the ravines. Keep your eyes peeled for the transition from agricultural land to dense wilderness about 15 minutes after departure.
