Which side of the plane to sit from Frankfurt am Main Airport (Frankfurt) to Dalaman International Airport (Dalaman)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a superior scenic experience, featuring a cross-section of the Tyrolean Alps, the magnificent island-dotted Croatian coast, and a spectacular approach past Rhodes toward the Turquoise Coast.

Lake Constance
A massive alpine lake shared by Germany, Switzerland, and Austria.
Tyrolean Alps
Dramatic overhead views of the snow-peaked mountains near Innsbruck.
Dalmatian Archipelago
The stunning blue waters and white limestone islands of the Croatian coastline.
Greek Ionian Islands
Lush green islands like Corfu and Lefkada surrounded by turquoise Ionian waters.
Rhodes Island
The northern tip of Rhodes and its historic harbor are usually visible before the final turn.
Marmaris Coastline
The rugged, forested mountains of the Turkish Riviera meeting the Aegean Sea.
The right side is the definitive choice for coastal lovers. For the best photography, opt for a mid-morning flight when the sun is high enough to illuminate the turquoise waters of the Adriatic and Aegean without causing excessive window glare. Watch for the sharp contrast between the white limestone of the Croatian islands and the deep blue sea.

Frankfurt Skyline
Views of the Main River and the financial district shortly after departure from FRA.
Hohe Tauern
Deep views into the eastern Austrian Alps, including the Grossglockner on clear days.
Danube River
The sweeping curves of the Danube as it flows through the Pannonian Basin.
Rila Mountains
The highest mountain range of the Balkans, often snow-capped well into spring.
Dalyan Delta
The unique reed-lined channels and Iztuzu Beach visible during the final approach phase.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is better for spotting the winding rivers of Central Europe and the rugged interior of the Balkan Peninsula. During the descent, keep your camera ready for the unique wetlands of the Dalyan delta.
