UFA → NOJ
Which side of the plane to sit from Ufa International Airport (Ufa) to Noyabrsk Airport (Noyabrsk)?
Left Side of the Plane
The Left Side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic transition from the Southern Ural Mountains into the vast West Siberian Lowland, including better views of the massive Ob River system.

Southern Ural Mountains
Aerial views of the ancient, forested ridges and deep valleys of the Ural range shortly after takeoff from Ufa.
Ob River Crossing
A spectacular view of one of the world's longest rivers as it meanders through the Siberian plains with its complex network of tributaries.
West Siberian Taiga
A seemingly endless carpet of coniferous forest, broken only by winding rivers and small glacial lakes.
Ufa City Panorama
Excellent views of the Ufa peninsula and the confluence of the Belaya and Ufa rivers during the initial climb.
Arctic Transition
Witness the landscape shifting from dense forest to the sparse, stunted trees of the forest-tundra zone near Noyabrsk.
Sit on the left for the best views of the Ural peaks during the first 30 minutes of flight. If flying during winter, look for the 'diamond dust' effect in the atmosphere. On evening flights, this side provides beautiful sunset gradients over the Siberian horizon. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff as the plane climbs over the Bashkortostan landscape.

Oil and Gas Infrastructure
The 'Oil Capital' region reveals vast networks of pipelines, drilling pads, and access roads carved into the wilderness.
Industrial Gas Flares
At night or during twilight, the bright orange glow of gas flares from extraction sites creates a surreal landscape.
Thermokarst Lakes
Thousands of perfectly circular or oval lakes caused by permafrost patterns, reflecting the sky like scattered mirrors.
Surgut Vicinity
Distant views of the industrial hubs and the massive infrastructure supporting the Russian energy sector.
The right side is exceptional for night flights; the gas flares of the West Siberian basin are a unique sight from 30,000 feet. During the day, watch for the geometric patterns of oil fields. In late autumn or winter, look for the Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights) as you approach Noyabrsk, though the left side may sometimes offer a wider northerly view depending on the exact flight path.
