Answer

Why do flights from Mallorca sometimes end up far from the original destination?

When delays build up, airlines may no longer be able to land at the planned airport because of slot limits or night restrictions. If that happens, the aircraft may be sent to an alternative airport that still has capacity. For passengers, that often means a much longer onward journey than expected.
