Which side of the plane to sit from Dalaman International Airport (Dalaman) to Berlin-Schönefeld Airport (Berlin)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior perspectives of the Aegean islands shortly after takeoff, direct views of the Danube River's major bends, and the dramatic sandstone formations of Saxon Switzerland during the descent.
Dodecanese Islands
Excellent views of Rhodes, Kos, and Symi scattered across the deep blue Aegean Sea minutes after departure.
The Danube Bend
A spectacular view of Europe's second-longest river as it winds through Hungary and Serbia.
Budapest Skyline
The Parliament building and the historic bridges of the Hungarian capital are often visible on clear days.
Saxon Switzerland
Breathtaking sandstone cliffs and deep forested valleys near the German-Czech border.
Berlin Approach
As the plane aligns for Schönefeld (BER), enjoy views of the Brandenburg forest and the city's southern suburbs.
Book a window seat on the right for morning flights to see the Aegean islands illuminated. This side is also preferred for seeing the Elbe river valley during the final 20 minutes of the flight. Watch for the 'Iron Gates' gorge if the route passes more easterly over the Danube.
Turquoise Coast
Immediately after takeoff, witness the stunning lagoons and blue waters of the Fethiye and Dalyan regions.
Dinaric Alps
Aerial views of the rugged, limestone mountain ranges stretching across the Balkan Peninsula.
Prague & Vltava
Depending on the flight corridor, the spire-filled horizon of Prague and the winding Vltava river may be visible.
Pannonian Basin
The vast, flat agricultural landscapes of Hungary, creating a patchwork quilt effect from above.
Choose the left side for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. Keep an eye out for the Adriatic coast in the far distance during the mid-flight segment over the Balkans.
