Palma de Mallorca International Airport (PMI)

Having being working here at Palma airport for the UK's largest tour operater for the past 3 Summers I can tell you that Palma airport is both good and bad. Palma Airport, known offically as Son Sant Juan Airport with airport code PMI, is operated by AENA the Spanish airport group just like BAA and is 8km east of Palma city centre on the South Coast and is located perfectly on the island to reach all parts of the island including resorts in the East (Sa Coma, Cala D'or, Cala Millor), resorts in the North including Alcudia, Can Picafort & Puerto Pollenca and resorts in the South including Palma Nova, Magaluf and Santa Ponsa. The airport is ...  Read the complete review

Before I bash Palma airport, let me just say that I love Mallorca and go several times a year. Problem number one; The lay out of the airport. Be prepared to do a LOT of walking. On landing you will walk a long long way to baggage if you arrive at certain gates. The shops are spread out around all the different gates rather than in one main area so don't get excited about airport shopping, also be warned, if you haven't bought your newspaper or magazine BEFORE security, you wont get one! Problem number two; Security. My Quinny Buzz pram (fairly large and robust) was literally forced through an x-ray machine, even though I pleaded for it not to be. ...  Read the complete review

Don't get your duty frees here! This big airport is the gateway to the island of Majorca, which gets millions of overseas visitors each year. Apart from the lengthy walk on arrival at Palma, in order to retrieve my luggage, I thought this a pleasant, clean place at first sight. However, when I returned from my holiday through the same airport, my opinion changed. This was not the pleasant place I had thought it was. The holiday was through Tompson and staff from Air Iberia dealt with the checking-in process. As we stood in the queue, we were informed that excess baggage charges had increased to E7.50 per kilo and that every item ...  Read the complete review

It is truly amazing, how such a huge airport, which deals with millions of passengers every year as the gateway to the Balearic Islands largest, and most popular island of Mallorca / Majorca. Since this airport is a favourite among many airline companies, ranging from the best (Thomas Cook, Britannia), to the worst (MyTravel), from the largest (British Airways, Iberia), to the smallest (Air Scotland), the expensive (Monarch Airlines), to the cheapest (bmiBaby, easyJet). So... you'd expect it to offer fanastic services, great customer services, and high safety! All of which, is believably DOESN'T! <<< CHECK-IN >>> We flew on-board ...  Read the complete review
