DLM β BRS
Which side of the plane to sit from Dalaman International Airport (Dalaman) to Bristol Airport (Bristol)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side offers a superior vantage point for the most dramatic scenery, including the high peaks of the Swiss Alps, the rugged Dinaric mountains, and the iconic Severn Estuary approach into Bristol.
Lycian Coastline
Stunning views of the rugged MuΔla province mountains meeting the Mediterranean Sea.
Dinaric Alps
The dramatic limestone peaks stretching across Montenegro, Bosnia, and Croatia.
Swiss Alps
A spectacular panorama of the highest snow-capped peaks in Europe, including glaciers.
Paris Basin
The vast agricultural plains of northern France and potential glimpses of the Paris outskirts.
Severn Estuary
The massive Severn Bridges and the winding river leading directly into the Bristol approach.
The right side is the 'cool side' with less direct sunlight. It provides the best angle for the high Swiss Alps. On the final descent into BRS, if the wind is from the west, you will get a perfect view of the Prince of Wales Bridge and the Severn crossings.
Cyclades Archipelago
Aerial views of the scattered Greek islands in the deep blue Aegean Sea shortly after takeoff.
Adriatic Coast
Clear views of the sparkling turquoise waters along the Italian and Balkan coastlines.
Maritime Alps
The southern edges of the Alpine range where the mountains descend toward the French Riviera.
Loire Valley
The winding Loire River and the verdant countryside of central France dotted with chateaus.
Isle of Wight
The distinct diamond shape of the island and the Needles rock formation on the UK approach.
Sit on the left for coastal views of the Greek islands, but be aware that on daytime flights, this side faces the sun, which may cause glare and heat. This side is excellent for spotting the English South Coast if the flight path tracks over the Isle of Wight.
