Which side of the plane to sit from Düsseldorf Airport (Duesseldorf) to Dalaman International Airport (Dalaman)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer stunning views of the Alps, the right side is superior for its prolonged panoramas of the Adriatic coastline and the turquoise waters of the Aegean Sea during the descent into Turkey.
Central Alps
Dramatic views of the snow-capped Swiss and Austrian mountain peaks shortly after crossing Germany.
Dalmatian Coast
The striking contrast of the turquoise Adriatic Sea against the white limestone cliffs of Croatia.
Aegean Archipelago
A mosaic of Greek islands scattered across the deep blue sea as you bypass the Peloponnese.
Island of Rhodes
Clear views of the historic island of Rhodes just before the final turn toward the Turkish mainland.
Turquoise Coast
The famous coastline of Fethiye and Göcek visible during the banking maneuver into Dalaman.
The right side is the 'scenic side' for Mediterranean lovers. To maximize visibility, choose a seat behind the wing to see both the Alps and the stunning coastal approach. Note that the afternoon sun will be on this side, so have sunglasses ready for the final descent.
Bavarian Heartland
Bird's eye view of southern Germany's rolling hills and the outskirts of Munich.
Hohe Tauern Range
Spectacular views of Austria's highest peaks, including the Grossglockner massif.
Balkan Mountains
Rugged, less-traveled terrain of the interior Balkan Peninsula across Serbia and Bulgaria.
Dalaman Valley
Lush green agricultural valleys of south-west Turkey during the final approach.
Sit on the left if you prefer looking over the vast continental landscapes of Eastern Europe. This side is better in the morning to avoid direct sun glare during the southeast-bound flight.
