Which side of the plane to sit from Leeds Bradford Airport (Leeds) to Zakynthos International Airport "Dionysios Solomos (Zakynthos)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side of the aircraft offers a superior panoramic view of the snow-capped Alps, the sparkling Adriatic Sea, and the dramatic coastline of the Ionian Islands upon arrival.
Yorkshire Dales
Expansive views of the rolling green hills and stone walls of Northern England shortly after takeoff from Leeds Bradford.
Swiss and Italian Alps
A breathtaking vista of the high-altitude peaks of the Alps as you cross from France into Northern Italy.
Venetian Lagoon
On clear days, the intricate network of islands and canals around Venice can be seen as the flight tracks toward the Adriatic.
Adriatic Coastline
The rugged cliffs and turquoise waters of the Balkan coast, specifically Albania and Western Greece.
Zakynthos Coast
Unrivaled views of the eastern shores of Zakynthos and the turquoise blue of the Ionian Sea during the final descent.
Book a window seat on the left side (Seat A) for the best views of the sunrise on early morning flights. Keep your camera ready about 90 minutes into the flight for the Alps. During descent, look for the 'Blue Caves' near the northern tip of Zakynthos.
Peak District
Aerial views of the rugged gritstone edges and moors of the Peak District National Park south of Leeds.
Parisian Outskirts
Depending on the flight path, the outer reaches of the Paris metropolitan area may be visible to the west.
French Alps
Views of the western Alps, including distant glimpses of the Mont Blanc massif if the sky is clear.
Apennine Mountains
The 'spine' of Italy, featuring dramatic limestone peaks stretching down the Italian peninsula.
Kefalonia Island
The neighboring island of Kefalonia and its massive Mount Ainos are often visible just before landing.
The right side (Seat F) is excellent for avoiding direct glare from the sun during afternoon flights heading southeast. If the approach to Zakynthos is from the south, you may get a distant view of the famous Shipwreck Beach area on the western cliffs.
