Which side of the plane to sit from Ufa International Airport (Ufa) to Roshchino International Airport (Tyumen)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides the most dramatic perspective of the Southern Ural Mountains, including views of higher peaks and the scenic Belaya River valleys during the ascent phase.
High Urals
View the most prominent peaks of the Southern Ural range, including the prominent and mystical Mount Iremel.
Belaya River Meanders
See the complex loops and sapphire-colored bends of the Agidel river as it flows through the Bashkirian mountains.
Vast Taiga
Dense stretches of dark coniferous forests that cover the northern slopes of the mountain range towards the West Siberian Plain.
Mountain Valleys
Bird's eye view of small mining and industrial settlements tucked into the deep, narrow valleys of the Ural range.
For the best visibility of the mountain ridges, fly during the morning when the sun illuminates the eastern slopes. In winter, the contrast between the white peaks and dark forests is particularly striking. Sit ahead of the wing for an unobstructed view of the horizon.
Southern Lake District
The southern side reveals the countless lakes of the Chelyabinsk region, including the large Argazi and Uvildy reservoirs.
Ufa Industrial Sprawl
Excellent views of the sprawling city, its refineries, and the Belaya River bridge right after departure.
Siberian Transition
Watch the dramatic shift from the rugged Ural terrain to the perfectly flat horizons of the West Siberian Plain.
Siberian Agriculture
Geometric patterns of large-scale farming and forest-steppe landscapes as the flight approaches Tyumen.
The right side is preferable on late afternoon flights to avoid direct glare from the sun. On evening flights, the industrial lights of the Chelyabinsk region can be seen to the south, and the reflection of the setting sun on the lakes near Tyumen is a major highlight.
