On these two flights, is there consistently one side of the plane or the other that gives a better view on approach in DME or departure from LED? Or, does it all depend on the weather and various approach patterns are the norm?
It doesn't matter which side of the plane you're on when you land. SVO's approach is more aesthetically pleasing to DME or LED but overall I wouldn't worry about it... 50% of my trips have seen me land in packed clouds. Taking off at LED will see you go over water within minutes of taking off.
