FLIGHTS TO MALLORCA (from the UK)

The closest airport on Mallorca (Majorca is the English spelling) is Palma (PMI). Make sure you don't do what one of us (will remain nameless) did and book to go to Parma, which is in Italy.

Best to search your dates via a search engine such as Sky Scanner

From Palma Airport it is a short and easy drive to Alaro on the main motorway, directly from the airport.

CAR HIRE

Deals are constantly changing so best to go on a search for the best options and prices.  Read the small print carefully, some companies charge you for a full tank of petrol on return at their own set rate so if you’re not going to be doing much driving this can make it expensive, though their hire prices are much cheaper.
