Which side of the plane to sit from Venice Marco Polo Airport (Venice) to Leeds Bradford Airport (Leeds)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers an unbeatable departure view of Venice's historic city center and a more direct look at the dramatic limestone peaks of the Dolomites.
Venice City Center
Stunning views of the Grand Canal, Piazza San Marco, and the historic red roofs immediately after takeoff.
The Dolomites
Dramatic, jagged limestone massifs and hidden turquoise alpine lakes in the Italian South Tyrol region.
The Ardennes
Deeply forested hills and winding river valleys across Luxembourg and eastern Belgium.
Humber Estuary
The wide mouth of the River Humber and the busy ports of Grimsby and Immingham.
Humber Bridge
A clear view of this iconic suspension bridge, once the longest in the world, near the city of Hull.
City of York
The historic walled city and the massive York Minster cathedral are often clearly visible during the final descent into LBA.
The right side is essential for the iconic Venice departure. If the flight departs towards the south before turning north, you will get a perfect 'postcard' view of the main island. During afternoon flights, this side also benefits from softer, following light on the Alps.
Venice Lagoon
Aerial perspective of the sprawling lagoon and the long barrier islands of Lido and Pellestrina.
Swiss Alps
Views of the glaciated high peaks of the central Alps, including the distant silhouettes of the Eiger and Jungfrau.
Greater Paris
On clear days, the vast urban sprawl of the French capital is visible to the west during the mid-flight cruise.
White Cliffs of Dover
A classic view of the English coastline as you cross the Channel from France into UK airspace.
London Suburbs
Distant views of the London skyline and the M25 ring road as the aircraft tracks north towards the Midlands.
The Peak District
Green valleys and gritstone ridges of northern England's first national park during the initial descent.
Choose the left side for better lighting during morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. It offers a superior view of the English south coast and the rolling greenery of the Midlands during the approach into Leeds.
