Answer
Should I avoid carrying cash through Mallorca's airport terminals?
You do not need to avoid cash completely, but it is sensible to carry only what you need and keep it secure. In a busy airport like Son Sant Joan, open bags and loose valuables are easier targets than items stored discreetly and close to the body. Cashless payment is often the simpler option for everyday spending.
