Which side of the plane to sit from Dalaman International Airport (Dalaman) to Manchester Airport (Manchester)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer stunning views, the Right Side is superior for its direct look at the stunning Croatian coastline and the highest, most snow-capped sections of the Alps.

Taurus Mountains
Dramatic limestone ridges and deep valleys of southwestern Turkey immediately after takeoff from Dalaman.
Dalmatian Coast
The incredible sight of Croatia's thousand islands and the turquoise waters of the Adriatic Sea.
The High Alps
Unrivaled views of the snow-capped peaks of the Austrian and Swiss Alps, including the area around Innsbruck.
Rhine Valley
The historic heart of Europe, featuring winding rivers and densely populated industrial regions of Germany and Benelux.
The Peak District
Upon descent into Manchester, enjoy the rolling green hills and stone walls of the northern English countryside.
The right side is the 'mountain side' for this route. Keep your camera ready about 60-90 minutes after takeoff for the Croatian archipelago. In winter, the alpine views are breathtaking with full snow cover. If the plane lands towards the west (Runway 23), you will get an excellent view of the city of Manchester on the final approach.

The Dolomites
Spectacular views of the jagged, limestone peaks of the Southern Limestone Alps in northern Italy.
Paris Basin

English Channel
The world's busiest shipping lane, where you can spot countless cargo ships and the White Cliffs of Dover to the far east.
Sit on the left for better lighting during morning flights, as the sun will be behind the aircraft. Look out about 2 hours into the flight for the best views of the Italian lakes like Garda and Como. During the approach to Manchester, the left side often sees the urban landscape of the Midlands.
