Flying to Mallorca
Most people arrive in Mallorca by air, and the large Palma de Mallorca Airport (PMI) caters to the millions of tourists that arrive from across Europe every year. Spain's national airline is Iberia (IB) (www.iberia.com), and while they offer competitive prices on domestic routes, budget, low-cost and charter airlines form the bulk of European carriers to the island.
There are regular international flights to Mallorca from all over Europe, with many carriers offering multiple flights a day during the summer peak season. Scheduled carriers from the UK include Easyjet (www.easyjet.com), Flybe (www.flybe.com) and British Airways (www.ba.com), while Thomas Cook (www.thomascook.com) a charter company also sells seats in the summer. Air Europa (www.air-europa.com), Iberia (www.iberia.com), Ryanair (www.ryanair.com) and Air Berlin (www.airberlin.com) fly between the islands and mainland Spain as well as further afield to other European destinations. There are many flights a day to Barcelona from where it is possible to connect to and from worldwide destinations.
On entering Palma de Mallorca from the UK it is necessary to go through passport control as the UK is not within the Schengen Agreement. Those travelling to and from most other EU destinations do not need to go through passport control.
From London to Palma is around 2 hours 15 minutes, while Manchester is approximately 2 hours 45 minutes. The flight time to Barcelona is around 30 minutes.
Departure taxes are included in the price of airline tickets and therefore nothing further needs to be paid at the airport.
