LCA → LBA
Which side of the plane to sit from Larnaca International Airport (Larnaca) to Leeds Bradford Airport (Leeds)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of the Mediterranean archipelagos and the most dramatic perspectives of the Alpine range. Additionally, on this westbound route, sitting on the left side typically places you away from the direct glare of the sun during midday flights, enhancing visibility.

The Peak District
