FUE β LBA
Which side of the plane to sit from Fuerteventura Airport (Fuerteventura) to Leeds Bradford Airport (Leeds)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior departure view of the northern Canary Islands and a better perspective of Leeds city center upon arrival at LBA.
Lanzarote & Lobos
Stunning aerial views of the volcanic landscapes of Lanzarote and the small Isla de Lobos immediately after takeoff.
Corralejo Dunes
The vast white sand dunes of northern Fuerteventura are clearly visible against the turquoise ocean.
Bay of Biscay Ports
Views of the French coastline, including potential sightings of La Rochelle or the islands of RΓ© and OlΓ©ron.
Leeds City Center
The most iconic view of the Leeds skyline and Elland Road stadium often appears on the right during the final approach.
The Peak District
The dark peaks and moorlands of Northern England provide a dramatic backdrop just before landing.
Sit on the right for the best photographic opportunities of the Canary Islands right after departure. On the final approach into LBA, the right side usually provides the most direct view of the urban landscape of West Yorkshire. Late afternoon flights provide beautiful 'golden hour' lighting over the French coast.
Atlantic Ocean Panoramas
Expansive views of the deep blue Atlantic as you head north from the Canary archipelago.
Picos de Europa
Distant views of the snow-capped peaks in Northern Spain if the flight path tracks over the Bay of Biscay.
Severn Estuary
Clear views of the bridges connecting England and Wales as the aircraft enters UK airspace.
Yorkshire Dales
The rolling green hills and stone walls of the Dales are visible during the descent into Leeds.
Irish Sea Horizon
Glances of the Irish Sea to the west as the plane navigates north through the UK corridor.
Choose the left side for better lighting during morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is also excellent for spotting the rugged coastline of Brittany and the western tip of Cornwall if the route drifts westward.
