Off Season:
While Dalaman is only just starting to earn a reputation for a tourist destination, thanks to the sun which is around all but 40 days of the year, there isn't a massive off season. Winter is from December to February and you might find the cheapest flights to Dalaman then.

When is the best time to book a flight to Dalaman?

If you want to get a fantastic view of the Dalyan then try to sit on the right hand side of the plane, it all depends on the wind but this side offers you the best chances of the spectacular views.

How to get from the airport to the city centre?
You'll find more taxi drivers from the airport if your flight to Dalaman is during the peak season, however there is normally always a 24 hour taxi service available from the arrival terminal. While this is a convenient option, it's also more expensive than the alternative shuttle buses. Havaş offer shuttle services from Dalaman Airport to a vast range of different locations. They are cheaper than a taxi and still operate rather frequently, making them a highly recommended solution to your airport transport. Also, if you tell the driver in advance, you can get off the bus at any time during the main route, meaning it can be easier to get to and from certain streets. A final option is to arrange for a car rental before you arrive. Turkish roads can be quite difficult to get to grips with though and might make things more difficult than opting for public transport.
