Which side of the plane to sit from Dalaman International Airport (Dalaman) to Belfast International Airport (Belfast)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the intricate Dalmatian coastline and a more central, direct view of the high-altitude Alpine mountain ranges during the mid-flight transit.
Turkish Turquoise Coast
A stunning view of the blue lagoons and white sands around Fethiye immediately after takeoff.
Dalmatian Archipelago
The spectacular sight of Croatia's thousand islands scattered along the Adriatic coast.
The High Alps
Breathtaking, close-up views of the snow-capped Julian and Swiss Alps at cruising altitude.
Paris Basin
On clear northern tracks, the urban expanse of Paris and the winding Seine River are visible.
London & Thames Estuary
Excellent views of the sprawling Greater London area and the busy shipping lanes of the Thames.
The Peak District
The rolling hills and rugged gritstone edges of Northern England's first national park.
The Alps are usually visible roughly 2 to 2.5 hours after departure; keep your camera ready for the transition from the Adriatic Sea to the mountains. Afternoon flights can be bright on this side, so high-quality sunglasses are recommended for spotting the Croatian islands.
Ionian Islands
Aerial views of the Greek islands like Corfu and the deep blue of the Ionian Sea.
The Peloponnese
The rugged, mountainous terrain of southern Greece as the plane heads northwest.
Italian Apennines
Distant views of the central mountain range forming the spine of Italy.
French Vineyards
The geometric patchwork of the French countryside and the Loire Valley region.
Severn Estuary
The dramatic tidal waters separating South West England and South Wales.
Irish Sea Crossing
The final water crossing before the descent into the emerald landscapes of Northern Ireland.
Sit on the left if you prefer the afternoon sun behind you for better photography of the French and English landscapes. In the final 20 minutes of flight, the left side often provides a great view of the Mourne Mountains as you descend into BFS.
