BFS โ DLM
Which side of the plane to sit from Belfast International Airport (Belfast) to Dalaman International Airport (Dalaman)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer stunning views of the Alps, the right side is superior for its expansive vistas of the Mediterranean coastline and the dramatic final approach over the Greek Ionian Islands and the Turkish Turquoise Coast.
The English Channel
A clear view of the busy shipping lanes and the white cliffs of the northern French coast.
Ionian Archipelago
Stunning views of Corfu, Lefkada, and Cephalonia surrounded by vibrant turquoise Mediterranean waters.
The Peloponnese
Aerial perspective of the rugged Greek peninsula and its deeply indented coastline.
Dalaman Lagoons
The spectacular final approach over the Blue Lagoon of รlรผdeniz and the intricate Dalyan delta.
Sit on the right for the iconic 'island hopping' views over Greece and the Mediterranean. For evening flights, this side offers a spectacular sunset over the Aegean Sea. During the final 20 minutes of flight, look out for the distinct contrast between the deep blue sea and the lush green mountains of the Muฤla province.
Greater London
Aerial views of the sprawling London metropolis and the winding River Thames as you head toward the continent.
The Swiss & Italian Alps
Breathtaking views of the highest peaks in Europe, including the snow-capped massifs of the Central Alps.
Dinaric Alps
Rugged limestone mountains and karst plateaus stretching across Croatia, Bosnia, and Montenegro.
Anatolian Interior
The final descent offers views of the Taurus Mountains and the high-altitude landscapes of Western Turkey.
The left side is ideal for morning departures to avoid direct sunlight and glare. Keep your camera ready about 90 to 120 minutes into the flight for the most dramatic Alpine peak transitions. In winter, the snow cover on the Balkan ranges is particularly striking from this side.
