BHX β DLM
Which side of the plane to sit from Birmingham International Airport (Birmingham) to Dalaman International Airport (Dalaman)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a superior vantage point for the most iconic Alpine summits and the stunning coastline of the Adriatic and Aegean seas.
English Channel
The sparkling blue divide between the UK and France visible after leaving British airspace.
Swiss Alps
Breathtaking views of the high peaks, including potential sightings of the Matterhorn and Mont Blanc.
Adriatic Islands
The crystal clear waters and numerous islands along the Dalmatian coast of Croatia.
Greek Islands
Aerial views of the iconic shorelines and turquoise waters of the Ionian and Aegean seas.
Blue Lagoon
Spectacular views of ΓlΓΌdeniz and the Fethiye coastline during the final approach into Dalaman.
This is the premier scenic side for this route. Sit behind the wing for unobstructed views of the Alps and the Mediterranean coast. For flights arriving in the late afternoon, the sun reflects beautifully off the Aegean Sea.
London Skyline
Views of the sprawling UK capital and the Thames Estuary shortly after departure.
Black Forest
Dense evergreen canopies and rolling hills of southwestern Germany.
Eastern Alps
The jagged, snow-capped peaks of the Austrian and Slovenian mountain ranges.
Sofia
The Bulgarian capital and surrounding Vitosha mountain may be visible during the Balkan transit.
Taurus Range
Impressive limestone peaks as the flight enters Turkish airspace near the coast.
Choose this side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight. It offers a more consistent view of the continental interior and is ideal for spotting the rugged geography of the Balkans.
