Which side of the plane to sit from Astana International Airport (Tselinograd) to Tashkent International Airport (Tashkent)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides the most dramatic views, particularly during the descent, where the snow-capped peaks of the Western Tien Shan mountains dominate the horizon against the backdrop of the Kazakh steppe.

Astana Modern Architecture
Aerial view of the futuristic Bayterek Tower and the Khan Shatyr Entertainment Center shortly after takeoff from TSE.
The Kazakh Steppe
An endless expanse of golden grasslands and unique circular patterns from agricultural irrigation in central Kazakhstan.
Betpak-Dala Desert
Also known as the Hungry Steppe, this harsh but beautiful desert landscape features unique geological formations.
Western Tien Shan Mountains
Stunning views of the Ugam and Pskem mountain ranges as the flight crosses into Uzbek airspace near Tashkent.
Chirchiq River Valley
The lush green valley of the Chirchiq River provides a sharp contrast to the surrounding arid terrain during the final approach.
For the best experience, choose a morning flight to have the sun behind you, perfectly illuminating the snow-capped Tien Shan peaks. During winter, the landscape is a pristine white sheet, while spring offers a brief window of green before the summer heat browns the steppe.
