Palma de Mallorca Airport (PMI)

Overview

Many European holidaymakers are familiar with Palma de Mallorca Airport. Mallorca is one of the top summer destinations in the Spanish Mediterranean and as such the airport receives over 21 million passengers annually.

With large crowds of people using the airport, particularly during peak periods, and with masses of flights to Mallorca from Britain and the rest of Europe, it's easy to see why some prices at the airport might be slightly inflated. Passengers may wish to avoid the airport's over-priced eating options, and sometimes queues for budget flights can get annoyingly long.

Location

Mallorca’s airport is situated five miles (8km) east of Palma.

Getting to the city

Most tour operators organise transport from the airport to hotels. Otherwise, there are two buses that connect the airport to Palma and other major towns and resorts on the island.
