Which side of the plane to sit from Dalaman International Airport (Dalaman) to Stuttgart Airport (Stuttgart)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic Croatian coastline and the sprawling alpine lakes before landing in Germany.
Turkish Riviera
Immediate views of the turquoise waters and rugged cliffs around Dalaman and Fethiye upon takeoff.
Aegean Archipelago
Panoramic views of the Greek islands scattered across the blue Aegean Sea.
Dalmatian Coast
Spectacular aerial views of the Croatian islands, including Hvar and Brač, and the limestone coastline.
Julian Alps
The jagged, snow-capped peaks of Slovenia and northeastern Italy as the flight enters Central Europe.
Lake Constance
A massive blue expanse marking the border between Switzerland, Austria, and Germany.
For morning flights, the sun remains on the right side of the aircraft, providing perfect front-lit conditions for photography on the left. The descent into Stuttgart often circles over the Black Forest, making the left side ideal for spotting dense woodland and small German villages. Ensure you have a window seat clear of the wing for the best Adriatic Sea views.
Taurus Mountains
The tail end of the rugged Taurus range visible shortly after departure from Dalaman.
Balkan Interior
The wild, mountainous terrain of Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Austrian Alps
High-altitude views of the Hohe Tauern range and various glaciers in the Austrian heartland.
Black Forest
The dense, dark evergreen canopy of the Schwarzwald as you approach the state of Baden-Württemberg.
Swabian Jura
The rolling hills and historic fortifications of the Swabian Alb region during the final approach.
The right side is excellent for viewing the high-altitude peaks of the Austrian Alps if the flight path is northerly. During late afternoon flights, the right side will experience direct sunlight, which might make it warmer and brighter. Watch for the Danube river winding through the landscape as you cross from Austria into Germany.
