Scheduled maintenance is due either every 12 months or every 15K miles, whichever occurs first. So, 50K miles is a weird number... But regardless, most scheduled services are glorified oil changes and fluids top-ups, brakes check, etc. Brake fluid should be replaced every 3 years, brake lines every 6. Air filter, transfer case and locking rear diff fluids every 75K miles. Open diffs and ATF every 10 years (!!!) So, with the possible exception of a brake fluid change your 2011 is likely due for an oil/filter change and little else. Are you going to a stealer or an independent garage, and where are you located?

That's interesting. Service interval here in the Middle East is 6 months / 12k km (~7500 miles).

That probably because, in most of the Middle East, you drive in "arduous conditions" (Land Rover-speak for "freaking hot and dusty, 24/7".)

If I lived in Arizona / Nevada, etc would that change my service interval from LR?

Nope, for warranty purposes you are good by following the recommended schedule of 1 year or 15K miles (although the manual does say that if you frequently drive short distances or in very hot, cold or dusty environments, you should consult your LR service advisor as your intervals may need to be shorter than recommended.)

Your Owner's Handbook and/or Passport to Service booklet include the schedule.
I just dropped my LR at the stealership for the 45K service. They wanted around $750 for basically an oil change, brake fluid flush and replacing the air filter. I opted just for the oil change and brake fluid flush since I already have K&N filters. it's still a $400 bill...and they just called saying my rear brake pads are worn out which will add $350 to the total. There goes $750!
