VOGEVN

Our Recommendation
8.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides an unparalleled vantage point for the most iconic landmarks of the region, including the massive Lake Sevan and the legendary peaks of Mount Ararat during the final approach into Yerevan.

Left Side Highlights
8.8
🌊

Volga River Delta

Immediately after departure from VOG, catch the expansive twists and turns of the Volga River as it flows toward the Caspian Sea.

🏔️

Greater Caucasus Range

A dramatic crossing of the snow-capped mountain range dividing Russia from the South Caucasus region.

💎

Lake Sevan

The 'Jewel of Armenia' is clearly visible from high altitude, showcasing its deep turquoise waters surrounded by mountain peaks.

🗻

Mount Ararat

The most iconic sight of the trip; the massive snow-capped dormant volcano appears majestic on the descent into EVN.

Sit on the left for the best views of Mount Ararat. On morning flights, the sun illuminates the peaks perfectly for photography. Ensure you are looking out about 15-20 minutes before landing to see Lake Sevan and the subsequent approach past Ararat. Use a polarizer filter if shooting through the window to cut glare from the high-altitude sun.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🌾

Russian Steppes

Vast agricultural patterns and the unique geography of the Caspian Depression stretch toward the horizon.

🏔️

Mount Elbrus

To the far west, the twin-peaked summit of Europe's highest mountain is often visible on clear days.

🌋

Mount Aragats

View the four jagged peaks of Armenia's highest mountain as the aircraft descends into the Ararat plain.

🏙️

Yerevan Cityscape

A bird's-eye view of the 'Pink City' and the Hrazdan River canyon during the final landing maneuvers.

The right side is ideal for catching a glimpse of Mount Elbrus in the distance if visibility is high. For evening flights, this side offers beautiful sunset views over the Armenian highlands. Keep an eye out for the rugged volcanic terrain of Mount Aragats shortly before the plane aligns with the runway at Zvartnots.
