Son Sant Joan: Between Arrival Delight and Pickup Chaos

Answer

Why are airport queues in Palma sometimes worse during bad weather or fog?

When visibility is poor, flight operations can slow down and delays ripple through the airport. That can quickly turn into longer queues at arrivals, more waiting in the pickup area and extra pressure on staff and passengers at Son Sant Joan.
