HAM β DLM
Which side of the plane to sit from Hamburg Airport (Hamburg) to Dalaman International Airport (Dalaman)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the high Alps, the stunning Croatian coastline, and the sparkling islands of the Aegean Sea before descent.
The Alps
Spectacular views of the snow-capped Austrian and Bavarian peaks at cruise altitude.
Dalmatian Coast
The crystal-clear waters and white-stone islands of the Croatian Adriatic coastline.
Ionian Sea
Deep blue waters and the lush green landscape of the Greek island of Corfu.
Peloponnese
The mountainous and historic peninsula of southern Greece visible before the final turn toward Turkey.
Turquoise Coast
Stunning views of the Fethiye gulf and the famous Blue Lagoon (ΓlΓΌdeniz) during the descent into Dalaman.
The right side is the 'cool' side for photography on morning flights, as the sun will be on the opposite side. This side provides the best view of the Alps and the Mediterranean coastline. During the final approach to DLM, look for the dramatic contrast between the turquoise sea and the steep Taurus Mountains.
Hamburg Port
Aerial view of the massive container terminals and the Elbe river immediately after departure.
Prague Cityscape
On clear days, the historic spires of the Czech capital are visible as the flight heads south-east.
The Danube
Catch glimpses of Europe's second-longest river winding through the Pannonian Basin.
The Balkan Mountains
Rugged and densely forested peaks stretching across Bulgaria and Serbia.
Mugla Highlands
The final approach provides views of the lush pine forests characteristic of the Dalaman region.
The left side is excellent for seeing the sunrise if you take an early morning flight, though glare can be intense. Keep an eye out for the transition from the flat North German Plain to the rolling hills of Central Europe.
