DLM β MUC
Which side of the plane to sit from Dalaman International Airport (Dalaman) to Munich Airport (Munich)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior sequence of coastal and mountain views, specifically the stunning Adriatic islands of Croatia and a breathtaking traverse across the highest sections of the Austrian Alps.
Dodecanese Archipelago
Aerial views of Rhodes and smaller Greek islands scattered across the deep blue Aegean shortly after takeoff.
Athens & Piraeus
The sprawling Greek capital and its historic harbor are often visible as the flight tracks northwest.
Dalmatian Coast
The intricate lacework of the Croatian coastline and its turquoise island chains like Hvar and BraΔ.
The Julian Alps
Dramatic limestone peaks as the flight crosses from the Balkan Peninsula into Slovenia.
High Tauern Range
Spectacular views of the glacier-capped Austrian Alps including the Grossglockner massif.
Choose the left side for late afternoon flights to enjoy a sunset over the Adriatic Sea. This side provides the most dramatic views of the Alpine descent into Munich. Try to book a seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze distorting your photos of the mountains.
MuΔla Coastline
The rugged turquoise coast of Turkey near Marmaris immediately following departure from Dalaman.
Mount Olympus
The legendary home of the Greek gods stands out prominently in Northern Greece depending on the flight corridor.
Dinaric Alps
The vast, rugged karst landscapes and deep river canyons of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro.
Lake Chiemsee
Known as the Bavarian Sea, visible with its two main islands as you enter German airspace.
Allianz Arena
On the final approach from the east, look for the iconic glowing white 'tire' stadium of FC Bayern Munich.
The right side is ideal for morning flights as the sun will be on the opposite side, preventing glare. Look for the distinct blue of the Austrian Lake District near Salzburg. During the winter, the snow-covered Balkan interiors provide a stark, beautiful contrast.
