BLK → DLM
Which side of the plane to sit from Blackpool International Airport (Blackpool) to Dalaman International Airport (Dalaman)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is significantly more scenic, offering a front-row seat to the most dramatic Alpine peaks, the intricate island-dotted coastline of the Adriatic, and a stunning final approach over the Turquoise Coast of Turkey.

London & The Channel
Depending on the specific corridor, you may see the Greater London area followed by the busy shipping lanes of the English Channel.
The High Alps
Breathtaking views of the snow-capped Swiss and French Alps, often including glimpses of the Mont Blanc massif if the path is westerly.
Croatian Archipelago
A stunning sequence of thousands of islands and the limestone cliffs of the Dalmatian Coast bordering the crystal-clear Adriatic Sea.
The Ionian Islands
Direct views over Corfu, Paxos, and the rugged western coastline of Greece as the flight moves toward the Aegean.
Rhodes & Fethiye
A spectacular arrival sequence passing near the island of Rhodes and the deep blue bays of the Fethiye gulf just before touchdown.
The right side is the 'gold standard' for this route. For the best photography of the Alps and the Adriatic, choose a seat behind the wing to avoid engine heat haze. On late afternoon flights, the sun will be behind you or to the side, providing excellent lighting for the Turkish coastline. Look out for the famous Blue Lagoon at Ölüdeniz during the final minutes of flight.

UK Midlands & SE
Aerial views of the urban sprawl of Manchester and the rolling English countryside of the Midlands as you head towards the channel.
The Jura Mountains
Vistas of the sub-alpine mountain range located north of the Western Alps, spanning the France-Switzerland border.
Balkan Interior
The rugged, less-traveled mountain peaks of Serbia and North Macedonia, showing off dramatic valleys and high-altitude plateaus.
Dalaman Hinterland
During the final descent, views of the lush, pine-forested mountains that surround the Dalaman airport area.
Sit on the left if you are on an early morning flight to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is better for seeing the interior landscape of Eastern Europe and the vast expanse of the Anatolian coastline as you turn for your final approach into Dalaman.
