Which side of the plane to sit from Dalaman International Airport (Dalaman) to London Luton Airport (London)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior sequence of coastal vistas, including the Aegean islands and the breathtaking Dalmatian coast, followed by a prime view of the highest Alpine peaks.
Turquoise Coast
Stunning views of the Fethiye gulf and the island of Rhodes immediately after departure.
Aegean Archipelagos
A bird's-eye view of the Cyclades islands scattered across the deep blue Mediterranean.
Dalmatian Coast
The intricate coastline of Croatia featuring historic ports and thousands of limestone islands.
Swiss & French Alps
Dramatic, snow-capped peaks and glaciers including the Mont Blanc massif during the mid-flight transition.
Loire Valley
The winding rivers and patchwork fields of rural France as the flight nears the English Channel.
Choose the left side for the best coastal scenery during the first half of the trip. On afternoon flights, the sun will be on this side of the aircraft, so keep your window shade ready but don't miss the Alpine crossing roughly 2.5 to 3 hours into the flight.
Taurus Mountains
Rugged, pine-covered ridges and inland lakes of Southern Turkey during the initial climb out of Dalaman.
Balkan Interior
Expansive views of the dense forests and rolling mountain ranges of Bulgaria and Serbia.
Austrian Alps
Glacial lakes and the jagged limestone peaks of the Eastern Alpine ranges near Munich.
English Channel
Bustling maritime traffic and the distinct white cliffs of the Kent coastline upon entering UK airspace.
London Cityscape
Panoramic views of the Thames, The Shard, and the City of London during the descent into Luton.
The right side is the undisputed winner for the final approach. As the plane descends into Luton, it often tracks south of the airport, providing a spectacular view of the entire London skyline. This side also stays in the shade during afternoon departures from Turkey.
