TJMURJ

Which side of the plane to sit from Roshchino International Airport (Tyumen) to Uray Airport (Uraj)?

Our Recommendation
7.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a more direct perspective of the winding Konda River loops and the intricate patterns of the Siberian wetlands during the approach into Uray.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏙️

Tyumen Outskirts

View of the northern residential districts and the industrial transition zones as the flight departs Roshchino.

🌊

Tura River Meanders

The complex, snake-like loops of the Tura River visible shortly after takeoff from Tyumen.

🌲

Vast Western Taiga

Uninterrupted views of the dense Siberian coniferous forest stretching toward the horizon.

🛢️

Oil Exploration clearings

Small, geometric clearings and access roads used for the region's vital petroleum industry.

💧

Konda River Confluence

The dramatic, winding watercourse of the Konda River as it flows through the marshy lowlands near Uray.

Sit on the left for the best views of the Konda River during the descent. In winter, the frozen river patterns are exceptionally clear. For morning flights, this side avoids the direct glare of the rising sun, making it better for photography of the taiga.

Right Side Highlights
6.8
🏙️

Tyumen City Center

A distant view of the regional capital's skyline if the flight path tracks slightly east after departure.

🛶

Tavda River Crossing

Aerial view of the Tavda River, a major waterway in the West Siberian Plain, bisecting the forest.

沼

Peat Bogs and Wetlands

Distinctive brown and grey patterns of the Siberian peatlands, which are globally significant ecosystems.

🏠

Uray Townscape

A close-up view of the compact, planned layout of Uray, a city built primarily for the oil industry.

Choose the right side if flying during a summer evening to see the sunset reflecting off the numerous small lakes and marshes. Look for the 'flares' from oil processing plants which are particularly visible on this side during late evening or night flights.
