Which side of the plane to sit from Vienna International Airport (Vienna) to Dalaman International Airport (Dalaman)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft provides a superior vantage point for the scenic transition from Central Europe to the stunning turquoise waters of the Aegean and Mediterranean coasts.
Lake Balaton
The largest lake in Central Europe, known for its distinct milky-green color.
Belgrade Confluence
The spectacular sight of the Sava river joining the Danube at the heart of the Serbian capital.
Aegean Archipelago

The Turquoise Coast
The jagged, indented coastline of the Muฤla region where the Aegean meets the Mediterranean.
Rhodes & Fethiye Gulf
Clear views of Rhodes island and the protected bays of Fethiye just before the final approach.
The right side is essential for sunset flights to witness the sun dipping into the Aegean. During the descent into DLM, stay alert for the 'Blue Lagoon' of รlรผdeniz which may be visible depending on the specific approach pattern. Sit behind the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the coastline.
Danube River
Visual tracking of the winding Danube river as it flows through the Hungarian plains.
