Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

While both sides offer views of the Caucasus, the right side provides the most iconic sight of the region: the legendary Mount Ararat during the final approach into Yerevan.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🌲

Southern Carpathians

Early in the flight, enjoy views of the dense forests and winding ridges of the Transylvanian Alps in Romania.

🏖️

Pontic Mountains

In the distance across the Black Sea, you may spot the hazy outlines of the Turkish coastline and the Pontic Alps.

🌋

Mount Ararat

The crown jewel of the flight: the majestic, snow-capped dormant volcano that dominates the horizon during the approach to EVN.

💧

Lake Sevan

Depending on the arrival pattern, you might catch a glimpse of the 'Emerald of Armenia,' one of the largest high-altitude lakes in the world.

🏘️

Yerevan Suburbs

A close-up view of the pink-tuff architecture and the Hrazdan River Gorge as the plane aligns with the runway.

The right side is essential for the best view of Mount Ararat. For evening flights, the sun will be behind you, providing excellent golden hour lighting on the mountain's glaciers. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes before landing, as the plane usually makes a sweeping turn that puts the mountain directly in frame.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🏔️

Greater Caucasus Range

As you enter Georgian airspace, witness the massive snow-capped peaks of the Greater Caucasus dividing Europe and Asia.

🌊

Black Sea North Coast

Expansive views of the northern Black Sea waters after crossing the Bulgarian or Romanian coastline.

🏙️

Tbilisi Vicinity

On the descent towards Armenia, you may catch a distant view of the Georgian capital nestled in the Kura River valley.

⛰️

Mount Aragats

See the four-peaked volcanic massif of Armenia's highest point as the plane begins its final descent into the Ararat plain.

Sit on the left if you want to see the higher, more rugged peaks of the Greater Caucasus. The best lighting occurs during morning flights when the sun illuminates the northern slopes. Use a map app to identify Mount Aragats, which is a major landmark just north of the flight path during the landing sequence.
