Strike at Son Sant Joan Airport: Three Peak Periods, Major Chaos – What Travelers and Mallorca Need to Know

Answer

How early should I arrive at Son Sant Joan Airport during the strike?

Arriving earlier than usual is sensible, especially during the announced strike windows in the morning, midday and late evening. Mallorca airport queues can build up quickly when check-in and baggage handling slow down, so leaving extra time reduces stress. For many passengers, two to three hours before departure is the safer choice.
