Which side of the plane to sit from Newcastle Airport (Newcastle) to Dalaman International Airport (Dalaman)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic crossing of the Alps, the stunning island-speckled Adriatic coast, and the iconic Turquoise Coast of Turkey upon arrival.
The Alpine Spine
Spectacular views across the main peaks of the Austrian and Slovenian Alps.
Dalmatian Islands
The intricate white-stone coastlines and turquoise waters of the Croatian archipelago.
Aegean Sea
The scattered Greek islands of the Northern Aegean, often visible through clear Mediterranean skies.
Turquoise Coast
Breath-taking views of the Fethiye region and the Blue Lagoon at Oludeniz during the final approach.
Dalaman Descent
A dramatic descent over the pine-clad Taurus Mountains toward the coastal plain.
The right side is the clear winner for coastal scenery. Approximately 2.5 to 3 hours in, watch for the Croatian coast. Keep your camera ready during the final 20 minutes of the flight; the approach into Dalaman over the Turkish coastline is world-famous for its beauty, especially if the plane circles over the sea.
North Sea Crossing
Expansive views of the North Sea shipping lanes immediately after departing Newcastle.
Low Countries
Aerial perspectives of the densely populated Dutch and Belgian landscapes, including the Rhine delta.
Eastern Alps
Views of the high peaks of the Austrian Alps, including the Hohe Tauern range.
Balkan Interior
Rugged terrain over Serbia and Bulgaria, featuring the Rila and Rhodope mountain ranges.
Anatolian Plateau
The varied colors and textures of the Turkish interior as you begin the descent toward Dalaman.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct southern sun glare. This side provides excellent views of the Central European river systems and the eastern fringes of the Alps. Look out for the Bulgarian mountains about 3.5 hours into the flight.
