GLA โ DLM
Which side of the plane to sit from Glasgow International Airport (Glasgow) to Dalaman International Airport (Dalaman)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior visual experience, featuring the initial climb over the River Clyde, a spectacular traverse of the Swiss Alps, and a stunning approach over the Aegean islands and the Dalyan Delta.
Clyde Estuary
Immediate views of the Erskine Bridge and the industrial heritage of the River Clyde.
Swiss & French Alps
A breathtaking crossing of the highest peaks in Europe, often passing near Mont Blanc.
Dalmatian Coast
The intricate patchwork of islands and turquoise waters along the Croatian coastline.
Aegean Archipelago
A bird's-eye view of various Greek islands scattered across the deep blue Aegean Sea.
Dalyan Delta
The famous reed-lined maze of the Dalyan River and the golden sands of Turtle Beach (Iztuzu).
The right side is the 'money seat' for this route. For the best views of the Alps, try to fly mid-day. The highlight is the landing approach into DLM; as the plane banks, you often get a perfect view of the Gรถcek islands and the Dalyan Delta. Sit behind the wing to ensure your photos of the Turkish coastline aren't obstructed.
East Anglian Coastline
Clear views of the UK's eastern bulge and the North Sea shipping lanes.
Austrian Alps
Jagged, snow-capped peaks of the Eastern Alps as you head toward the Balkans.
Sofia & Balkan Peaks
Aerial perspective of the Bulgarian capital surrounded by the Vitosha mountains.
Lake Salda
Known as the 'Turkish Maldives,' this bright blue crater lake is visible during descent.
Taurus Mountains
Rugged limestone ridges that define the dramatic geography of Southwestern Turkey.
The left side is excellent for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. Keep an eye out for the Rhine River as you cross Central Europe. During the final descent, you will see the inland mountain ranges of the Muฤla province which are particularly beautiful at sunset.
