A350 "Lausanne" in Palma: More legroom — but new questions for the island

Answer

Does the A350 make short flights to Mallorca better than older planes?

For passengers, the A350 can feel like an upgrade even on a short route to Mallorca because of the quieter cabin and more generous seating in some classes. For airlines, the benefits are mainly operational, such as easier crew training and simpler maintenance. Whether it is the best use of the aircraft is a separate question.
