DLM β GLA
Which side of the plane to sit from Dalaman International Airport (Dalaman) to Glasgow International Airport (Glasgow)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer stunning views, the Right Side provides a superior perspective of the Turkish 'Turquoise Coast' upon departure and the most iconic views of the Scottish Lowlands and Glasgow city during the final descent.
MuΔla Coastline
Immediate views after takeoff of the jagged, pine-forested bays of Marmaris and the Dalyan delta.
Budapest & Danube
The flight path often passes near Budapest, offering a glimpse of the Danube river winding through Hungary.
Frankfurt am Main
A high-altitude view of Germany's financial hub and its cluster of modern skyscrapers.
London & Home Counties
Depending on the airway, you may see the sprawl of Greater London and the Thames to the South.
The Peak District
The rolling hills and moors of northern England provide a scenic transition into the Scottish border.
Glasgow Skyline
As the plane banks for landing, enjoy a panoramic view of the city center and the iconic squinty bridge.
Choose the right side for the best chance to see major European cities and the dramatic turn over the Clyde before landing. If flying in the late afternoon, the 'Golden Hour' light hitting the Scottish Highlands to the north is truly spectacular.
Aegean Islands
Shortly after takeoff, view the scattered Greek islands of Rhodes and Symi set against the deep blue sea.
Balkan Mountains
Look out over the rugged and snow-capped peaks of the Rila and Pirin ranges in Bulgaria.
The Alps (Distant)
On clear days, the northern fringes of the Austrian and German Alps are visible on the horizon.
The English Channel
Watch the transition from mainland Europe to the British Isles as you cross the busy shipping lanes.
The Lake District
Spectacular views of Windermere and the Cumbrian mountains as the flight heads north through England.
Clyde Estuary
Final approach views of the Firth of Clyde and the shipping docks of Greenock and Port Glasgow.
Sit on the left side during morning flights to keep the sun behind you for better photography. This side is also excellent for viewing the English Lake District, which is a major geographic highlight during the final hour of the flight.
