The left side offers a scenic view of the Kuybyshev Reservoir and the urban landscape of the city as the aircraft aligns for its final approach.
The right side offers spectacular views of the expansive Kuybyshev Reservoir, the largest in Europe, along with the scenic Kama River confluence and the northern forested landscapes of Tatarstan.
The left side is generally superior for witnessing the massive scale of the Volga River and the President's Bridge, one of the longest in Russia, as you descend into Ulyanovsk.
