Baraba Steppe
A vast expanse of thousands of small, shimmering lakes scattered across the Siberian agricultural heartland.
Middle Ural Mountains
The geographic border between Asia and Europe, featuring ancient, weathered ridges and dense evergreen forests.
Kazan & The Volga Bend
A stunning view of the Kazan Kremlin and the sharp southward turn of the mighty Volga River.
Nizhny Novgorod
The historic confluence of the Oka and Volga rivers, marked by the ancient brick walls of the city's Kremlin.
Moscow Ring Road
The sprawling urban density and high-rises of Moscow's eastern and southern outskirts during the final approach.
Book an 'A' seat for the best panoramic views. On morning flights, the sun is behind you, providing excellent saturation for photos. In the evening, this side catches the sunset over the Volga. Watch for the Ural crossing approximately 2 hours into the flight; look for the transition from flat plains to rolling hills.
