Which side of the plane to sit from Leeds Bradford Airport (Leeds) to Dalaman International Airport (Dalaman)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior panorama of the high Alps, the deep blues of the Adriatic Sea, and a stunning aerial tour of the Greek islands before landing.
Parisian Basin
Clear views of the French countryside and the outskirts of Paris shortly after crossing the Channel.
The High Alps
Prime views of snow-capped peaks including potential sightings of Mont Blanc depending on the airway.
Adriatic Coast
Sparkling turquoise waters and the fragmented coastline of Croatia and the Italian spur.
Aegean Islands
An incredible bird's-eye view of the Cyclades and Dodecanese island chains.
Rhodes and Simi
Detailed views of the Greek islands neighboring the Turkish coast during the final approach.
The right side is unbeatable for island spotting. For afternoon flights, be aware of the southern sun which can be bright; use the window shade as needed. On the final approach into DLM, this side typically provides the most iconic views of the Mediterranean coastline and nearby Rhodes.
Greater London
On clear departures, view the sprawling Thames Estuary and the eastern edge of the UK capital.
Eastern Alps
Distant but impressive views of the jagged Austrian and Swiss mountain ranges.
Balkan Interior
Rugged, forested mountain terrain spanning across Serbia and Bulgaria.
Turkish Coastline
The dramatic meeting of the Taurus Mountains and the turquoise Aegean Sea as you descend.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is also excellent for spotting the dense mountain ridges of the Balkans during the mid-flight segment. Watch for the distinctive Dalyan delta as you make your final turn into Dalaman Airport.
