DLM β AMS
Which side of the plane to sit from Dalaman International Airport (Dalaman) to Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (Amsterdam)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior lighting for photography on this northwesterly route, avoiding the glare of the southern sun while providing exceptional views of the Aegean islands, the Balkan interior, and the transition into the German lowlands.

SarΔ±germe Beach
A stunning view of the coastline and Baba Island immediately following departure from Dalaman.
Aegean Archipelago
A panorama of Greek islands including Lesbos and Chios set against the deep blue Aegean Sea.
Belgrade & Danube
Clear views of the Serbian capital at the confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers.
Bavarian Forest
Dense green landscapes and the rolling hills of Southern Germany as the plane moves toward the lowlands.
Randstad Urban Area
The dense network of Dutch cities, canals, and illuminated greenhouses during the final descent into Schiphol.
The right side is the 'cool side' of the plane for this route, meaning the sun is on the opposite side, allowing for better window visibility and cooler cabin temperatures. For the best experience, choose a seat ahead of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Aegean islands and the Balkan geography.

Turquoise Coast
Immediate views after takeoff of the Dalyan delta, the Lycian coast, and the winding Dalyan River.
The Dinaric Alps
The rugged limestone peaks of the Balkans stretching across Montenegro, Bosnia, and Croatia.
Austrian High Alps
Spectacular views of the glacier-capped peaks of the Hohe Tauern and the Grossglockner massif.
Rhine Valley
The winding Rhine River in Germany, dotted with historic castles and steep vineyard-covered hills.
Sit on the left if you want the most direct views of the high Alpine peaks during the middle of the flight. However, be prepared for significant sun glare if flying during the middle of the day, as the sun will be positioned to the south of the aircraft.
