Which side of the plane to sit from Manchester Airport (Manchester) to Dalaman International Airport (Dalaman)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior visual journey, showcasing the high ridges of the French Alps, the stunning island-dotted coastlines of Croatia and Greece, and a final approach that often circles the turquoise waters near Rhodes.
London & Southeast England
A distant view of the London skyline and the busy shipping lanes of the English Channel.
Mont Blanc & French Alps
Unrivaled views of the highest peaks in Western Europe, including the dramatic ridges of the Mont Blanc massif.
Dalmatian Coast
The sparkling blue waters of the Adriatic Sea and the intricate network of islands along the Croatian coastline.
Greek Archipelago
A bird's-eye view of the Ionian islands, including Corfu and the Peloponnese peninsula, appearing as jewels in the sea.
Rhodes & Fethiye Bay
During the final descent, enjoy views of the Greek island of Rhodes and the famous 'Blue Lagoon' area near Oludeniz.
The final 20 minutes of the flight are the highlight; the right side usually faces the Mediterranean Sea and the stunning Turkish coastline during the approach into Dalaman. Aim for a morning flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the Greek islands and the turquoise water perfectly.
Manchester & Peak District
Aerial views of the North West of England and the rolling hills of the Peak District shortly after takeoff.
Parisian Horizon
On clear days, the northern outskirts of Paris and the sprawling French countryside are visible during the first hour.
Central Alps
Spectacular views of the Swiss and Austrian Alpine massifs, featuring snow-capped peaks and deep glacial valleys.
Balkan Interior
Diverse landscapes ranging from the Danube basin to the rugged mountain ranges of Bulgaria and North Macedonia.
Western Taurus Mountains
The dramatic, craggy limestone peaks of the Taurus range as you cross into Turkish airspace near the destination.
Sit ahead of the wing to capture the best shots of the Alps without engine heat distortion. During evening flights, this side experiences less direct sun glare, making it easier to view the ground in detail.
