BRS β DLM
Which side of the plane to sit from Bristol Airport (Bristol) to Dalaman International Airport (Dalaman)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior visual experience, featuring the stunning turquoise waters of the Adriatic Sea, the intricate island chains of Croatia, and a spectacular coastal approach into the Turkish Riviera.
Isle of Wight
Aerial perspective of the English south coast and the distinctive Needles rock formation.
Dalmatian Coast
The crystal-clear waters and hundreds of small islands along the Croatian coastline.
Ionian Islands
Clear views of Corfu, Paxos, and the rugged western coast of mainland Greece.
Gulf of Fethiye
Stunning turquoise bays and forested peninsulas as the aircraft enters Turkish airspace.
Marmaris Peninsula
The dramatic meeting of the Mediterranean and Aegean seas along the jagged Turkish coastline.
Sit on the right for the best sunset views if flying in the late afternoon. This side provides the most consistent 'blue' views of the Mediterranean and Adriatic. Use a window seat behind the wing to ensure the engine doesn't block the view of the Greek islands.
Severn Estuary
Immediate views of the Prince of Wales Bridge and the Bristol Channel coastline upon departure.
The Alps
Dramatic views of the snow-capped Swiss and Italian Alps peaking through the clouds mid-flight.
Dinaric Alps
The rugged, limestone mountain range stretching across the Balkans into Albania.
Lake KΓΆyceΔiz
A vast, serene freshwater lake visible during the final descent into Dalaman.
The left side is ideal for morning flights to minimize sun glare while viewing the Alps. During the final approach, keep your eyes peeled for the Dalyan River's winding channels as the plane turns toward the runway.
