Answer
How early should I arrive at the airport for a flight to Mallorca?
For a calm departure, it is sensible to be at the airport at least two and a half hours before departure. That gives enough time for check-in, baggage drop-off and security, especially if the airport is busy or there are delays. A small time buffer also helps if traffic is heavier than expected.
