DLM Airport Overview

To help you plan your layover or overnight sleepover, here is a quick run-down about what to expect during your time at Dalaman Airport.

What to Expect

dalaman airport guideDalaman Airport (code: DLM) is divided into two modern terminals: international and domestic. It seems that seating is in very short supply and toilets aren’t always clean, especially during the busy summer season, when dozens of seasonal flights are coming and going.

Amenities include many shops and eateries, but they are reportedly quite expensive. WiFi is available in designated areas, including the airside eatery area, but it may come with a fee. For added comfort while you wait, economy class passengers can pay to enter. See Airport Lounges in the guide below for location and access information.
