From early November flights from Palma are reduced, but the island remains easily reachable for many German destinations. An overview from a local perspective.
Skies grow quieter, connections remain — with some compromises
When clocks switch to winter time in early November, you can notice it at Palma airport too: fog over the runway in the mornings and less hustle at the gates by midday. The new winter flight schedule brings, as every year, fewer frequencies — but not necessarily less choice. Those wanting to return home at short notice will usually find a connection, though sometimes with detours.
Major carriers follow familiar patterns
Eurowings maintains connections to many German cities during the cold season. Especially to Düsseldorf and Munich there are still numerous departures, sometimes several times a day. This is important for commuters: leaving in the morning and returning in the evening often still works in winter.
Lufthansa traditionally focuses on routes to Frankfurt and Munich. Those who choose the Kranich usually get a convenient direct connection most weeks, even if other cities are served less frequently.
Low-cost carriers and regional destinations
Ryanair remains the cheapest option for many, especially to smaller airports like Memmingen, Lübeck or Karlsruhe/Baden-Baden. Frequencies vary, but flights operate regularly — ideal if you value proximity to your local airport.
Other carriers react differently: Condor significantly reduces services and suspends some Mallorca routes in the colder season. TuiFly and easyJet continue to operate selected routes, with easyJet notably maintaining many services to Berlin and also to Basel.
Tips from everyday airport life
A few practical tips from personal observation: booking tickets early helps with choice, but being flexible also pays off — sometimes a flight via Frankfurt or Munich is the quickest solution. Pick-up drivers should also check the adjusted arrival times: outside the high season planes often land earlier or later than in mid-summer.
And one more local tip: if you stand at the terminal at 6 a.m., you'll meet taxi drivers already planning their routes — ask politely, and they sometimes give the best advice on which airline is currently reliable.
Conclusion
The Winter Flight Schedule 2025 brings fewer flights, but hardly a complete disconnection of the island from the German air network. Mallorca remains reachable for most cities, albeit with less flexibility in departure times. In short: allow a little extra time — and enjoy the quieter runways.
