Which side of the plane to sit from Dalaman International Airport (Dalaman) to Vienna International Airport (Vienna)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a spectacular vantage point for the dramatic transition from the turquoise waters of the Turkish and Greek coastlines to the rugged islands of the Adriatic Sea and the limestone peaks of the Dinaric Alps.

Fethiye Bay
A stunning view of the Mediterranean coastline and the famous Blue Lagoon area immediately after takeoff.
Aegean Archipelago
A mosaic of Greek islands such as Lemnos and Skyros visible as you transit over the Aegean Sea.
Dalmatian Coast
Unparalleled views of the Croatian islands including Hvar and BraΔ set against crystal-clear waters.
Dinaric Alps
The rugged and often snow-capped limestone mountain ranges stretching across the Balkan Peninsula.
Lake Balaton
Central Europe's largest lake, easily recognizable by its elongated shape and pale green water.
Vienna City Center
On certain arrival paths, a panoramic view of the Stephansdom and the city's historic inner districts.
Sit on the left for afternoon flights to keep the sun behind you, providing better lighting for the Adriatic scenery. The segment over the Croatian coast is the visual highlight of the trip, occurring roughly 60-80 minutes into the flight. Keep your camera ready for the approach into Vienna, as the plane often turns over the Danube.

The massive urban sprawl and deep-water port of Turkey's third-largest city.
Pannonian Basin
The vast, patchwork agricultural patterns of the Great Hungarian Plain.
Belgrade
The confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers at the Serbian capital can often be spotted.
