URJTJM

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

Our Recommendation
6.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides a more dynamic perspective of the Tura River's winding path and the vast Siberian marshland patterns during the descent into Tyumen.

Right Side Highlights
6.8
🛸

Uray Cityscape

A clear view of the oil-rich town of Uray and its industrial layout immediately after departure.

🌊

Tura River Curves

Spectacular views of the meandering Tura River which guides the aircraft's path toward the destination.

🌾

Agricultural Transition

The landscape shifts from wild wetlands to the organized, geometric farmlands of the Tyumen region.

🏗️

Energy Infrastructure

Spot isolated oil and gas extraction sites scattered across the remote West Siberian Plain.

This side is ideal for afternoon flights to catch golden hour reflections on the Tura River. Keep your camera ready during the final 15 minutes of the flight for the best view of the river's dramatic horseshoe bends before landing at Roshchino.

Left Side Highlights
6.2
🌲

Vast Boreal Forest

The sprawling green canopy of the Siberian Taiga extends endlessly toward the horizon.

🧬

Konda Oxbows

Intricate water patterns and ancient riverbeds of the Konda system visible during mid-flight.

❄️

Frozen Lakes

In winter months, dozens of perfectly circular frozen lakes dot the landscape like white coins.

Choose a window seat forward of the wing to capture the expansive Taiga. Morning flights on this side avoid the harsh southern sun, making it easier to photograph the reflective surfaces of the Siberian lake systems without glare.
