Our Recommendation
8.8

Left Side of the Plane

While both sides offer spectacular views of the Alps, the Left Side is superior for the arrival phase, providing a legendary panoramic view of the Venetian Lagoon and the historic city of Venice just before landing.

Left Side Highlights
8.8
🏙️

Greater London

On many southward departures, views of the sprawling London metropolis and the Thames Estuary are visible to the east.

🌊

White Cliffs of Dover

Clear views of the iconic chalk cliffs and the busy shipping lanes of the English Channel.

🏔️

Central Swiss Alps

A breathtaking traverse over high-altitude glaciers and jagged peaks like the Jungfrau and Eiger.

🛶

Venetian Lagoon

The intricate mosaic of salt marshes, islands, and the distinct 'fish' shape of Venice appearing during the descent.

🏛️

Historic Venice

Direct views of St. Mark's Square and the Grand Canal if the aircraft tracks south of the city for the TSF approach.

Book a window seat on the left for the most iconic approach. For morning flights departing Leeds, the sun will be on the right side of the plane, meaning the left side will have better lighting for photography without glare. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes before landing to catch the transition from the mountains to the sea.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🏞️

The Peak District

Shortly after takeoff from LBA, enjoy views of the rolling green hills and dales of Northern England.

🗻

Mont Blanc

Depending on the specific airway, the highest peak in Europe is often visible on the western horizon.

💧

Lake Garda

As the plane enters Italian airspace, the deep blue waters of Italy's largest lake are a major landmark.

🏰

Verona

The historic city center and the Adige River are clearly visible as the plane begins its final descent across the Po Valley.

⛰️

The Dolomites

Views of the dramatic, jagged limestone peaks to the north as you approach the Treviso region.

The right side is excellent for viewing the larger Italian lakes and the Western Alps. If flying in the late afternoon or evening, be aware that the sun will be setting on this side, which can provide a beautiful 'golden hour' glow over the mountains but may cause significant window reflections.
