Is there a ranking or a guide with the airports offering the most beautiful landings?
Often landing (or take-off) offers very beautiful sights over travel destinations.
Knowing this would be a great way to start a travel. Unfortunately, I've lost this oportunity, several times for ignorance. One is either tired, focused on something else or just picked the wrong sit for that particular flight loosing the beautiful views.
I was wondering if there is a ranking or a guide with the airports offering the most beautiful landings ?
From such list I would expect information like what you can see. This probably is dependent on the landing/take off direction but such information could also be there.
I googled the question before posting here. There are many articles about it, but most offer a limited amount of airports (around 20); The information is a bit poor and the articles are more about showing pictures than actually giving real information.
