Palma Airport

During the summer months Palma Son Sant Joan is the busiest airport in Spain. We live and work here, and as this airport is somewhere we travel to and have a good knowledge of, we decided to put together a guide using our first hand experience of flying to and from Majorca.

Palma Airport has a main terminal building which has four attached modules (A, B, C & D) which are used for arrivals and departures.  It is well signposted and quite easy to find your way around, but because the airport is so busy and so spread out getting from A to B can take a bit of time.  It is therefore worth using our guide to plot your way through it before you get there.  This will save you carrying heavy luggage unnecessary distances,  and make sure you know where to collect a hire car from, catch a bus, where to find the taxi rank at Palma Airport, shop and get your duty free goods and choose the best place to get something to eat and drink.

We have sat in Palma Airport and asked ourselves what information would be helpful if we were travelling there and the articles in the Palma Airport Guide have been written with this very much in mind.
