Why 89 Passengers Were Left Behind in Lanzarote — a Reality Check for Mallorca Travelers

Answer

What should Mallorca travelers do if a flight is delayed because passport control is too slow?

If a flight is delayed by slow passport control, travelers should keep all documents, boarding passes, and any messages from the airline. It is also wise to ask staff what the reason for the delay is and whether rebooking, meals, or accommodation are being offered. Under EU passenger rules, the exact support depends on the circumstances, but it is worth asking clearly and keeping records.
