Oooooh, I have to make a decision here, hopefully consistent with what I've posted before. Purely BA locations.

1) Innsbruck when there's a bit of snow around but not too much. The airport vista itself is fantastic.



2) Gibraltar, the Rock, the road, the town, the sweep of Algeciras bay and North Africa.



3) San Diego, on a 747 of course


4) Funchal
The airport and runway is partly on stilts!





5) Mykonos


A great approach from the neighbouring islands and over the beach. The runway is on the left side of the island here.


There are many others with good approaches, such as Edinburgh, Cape Town, Lima and Salzburg. If I had to put a few non BA routes, I'd probably add Castlebay, Courcheval, the old Hong Kong.
