Which side of the plane to sit from Dalaman International Airport (Dalaman) to Blackpool International Airport (Blackpool)?
Left Side of the Plane
The Left Side offers the most dramatic views of the Mediterranean coastline, the Balkan mountain ranges, and a scenic final approach over the Irish Sea towards the Lancashire coast.
Aegean Archipelago
Breathtaking views of the turquoise waters and scattered Greek islands as you depart the Turkish coast.
Adriatic Coastline
Visuals of the rugged Croatian islands and the deep blue of the Adriatic Sea during the mid-flight transit.
The Alps
Depending on the specific airway, witness the jagged, snow-capped peaks of the Austrian or Swiss Alps.
English Channel
Observe the heavy maritime traffic and the white cliffs as you transition from continental Europe to the UK.
Blackpool Promenade
During the final descent, catch a glimpse of the iconic Blackpool Tower and the Golden Mile from the air.
For the best lighting, choose the left side on evening flights to witness the sunset over the Mediterranean. Keep your camera ready during the final 15 minutes of the flight as the plane often banks over the Irish Sea, offering a panoramic view of the North West coastline.
Balkan Mountains
Expansive views of the verdant, rolling forests and deep river valleys of Bulgaria and Serbia.
Rhine River Valley
The silver ribbon of the Rhine winding through the industrial and agricultural heartlands of Germany.
London & The South
On clear days, see the distant sprawl of the UK capital and the dense urban landscape of the Midlands.
The Peak District
Scenic views of the dark peaks and green valleys of Northern England as you head toward Lancashire.
The right side is better for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. It provides a more detailed look at the changing landscape of Central Europe and the dense patchwork of British farmland as you cross the English countryside.
