Palma on the Travel Pulse: Why the Airport Is Overcrowded on the First Holiday — and What It Means for Us

Answer

What causes delays at Palma Airport during busy holiday periods?

Delays often build up at the points where many travellers move through the airport at once, such as check-in, security, border control and baggage claim. On especially busy days in Mallorca, transport links, taxi queues and access roads can also slow everything down. Small delays on several flights can quickly spread through the whole day.
