Great video, I always forget how packed Palma airport can be. Glad the flight seemed to be a more sedate affair. Hope you have a lovely family holiday.
We were on the same plane as you. You sat next to my daughter, it was fascinating to see you doing what you do. My kids are supper chuffed to being on the "telly" haha. Enjoy your break :)
We flew home to Stansted yesterday late morning and didn’t have any problems at all. It was very busy around the centre point just after security but I knew to head straight to the gates, and yes, it was so much quieter…. A great tip picked up from travelling back in June.
Fabulous video Alex! I found it really relaxing to watch even though it was busy on the Palma side. Really relaxing music and lovely view scenes from the plane. Hope you have a super nice holiday in the cooler temperatures over here! Welcome back to the cool UK!
Great video Alex. Brings back memories. I had a hire car so allowed myself three hours so I could park it and return the keys. Fortunately my Jet2 flight was mid morning so the queues were not too bad (Jet2 had plenty of staff on duty and they very quickly got through the queue) but the queue at Passport Control was bad as there was only 2 policemen on duty and the the aircon was not working so very hot. Love the aerial views of Cuber and the blue gorge. Have a great holiday, John
Thank you John! That was also the first time we'd flown that way for a very long time. Interesting and a bit worrying to see the reservoirs so low though...
Mallorca Airport is going through a major expansion we noticed when there last week. Remember you can go through security etc into the departure gate area plenty of shops / restaurants miss the queue s before security.
That EasyJet queue is the smallest I’ve ever seen it. It’s normally double that. Tenerife South is even worse. All the other Airlines seem to have it all organised. Also, they’re all SO hot, the aircon has definitely been turned down. I’ve noticed this in all four airports I have been to in the last two months. Two abroad and two in the U.K.
I didn't film that bit very well as I was just looking down the side, but there were zigzag crowds (I should've walked behind to film, but at that point I was more concerned about the waves of people head to security!)
Blimey that looks busy alex! , I was going to mention about getting water from the vending machines so much cheaper even in the u.k have a great time back here hope you bought a rain coat with you.
We went through the airport yesterday to travel back to the UK approximately 12pm and it was no way near as busy as shown in your video, straight to check in desks and straight through security. The walk to the gates were empty corridors and straight to a desk for passport control. Amazing what time of day determines how busy it is. We were impressed with how easy it was at the airport and how they deal with security etc compared with the UK, it always seems such a hassle there. We always make sure we’re there at least 3 hours before when we depart the UK and was a bit sceptical at the time our bus transfer got us to Palma airport (which was about an hour and a half before our flight was scheduled to depart) but no need to be as we were soon at the departure gate.
Hi Alex, hope all well. We've just got back from Tenerife to Manchester airport we thought both airports were a breeze tbh. Anyway we won't be visiting tenerife again, let's just say its not Mallorca, we've tried it but prefer the beautiful mallorca and now won't go anywhere else. Going to book santa ponsa I think. Take care x
I must've been lucky the day i flew back from Palma airport. It took me 5 minutes for my main luggage and there was no cue going through security. That was around 1pm
Thanks for this informative vlog Alex,We'll be flying into Palma Airport via Tui in 4 weeks and departing 2 weeks later back to Manchester,Ive heard there are long walks from and to the gates at Palma,is this so?
It depends where the plane comes in but from terminal A it can be a bit of a hike. If in doubt please don’t hesitate booking special assistance to be on the safe side
Hi Alexandra I am sooo excited to get over to the beautiful island in September..! Thanks for all of the info you provide. I actually live in Bristol. Going to stay at Globales Maioris! Soo looking forward to swimming in the Sea. Do you perhaps know if there are any buses from PMI after midnight? I looked at the 505 rpute but it doesn’t look like it 😅🤣 Jade
Hello! Unfortunately they do seem to stop at around midnight, so if you're looking for the next value option, book a transfer here holidaytaxis.tp.st/IXwIxI7O
@@rogerholder-rt9mt Hi Alexandra! Hi Roger! Do you know how to access a timetable for the shuttle buses, or are they one an hour? Especially after Midnight! Many thanks
Dont want to be a spoil sport isn't photography banned in airports in Spain as it is in the UK? Also isn't it a violation of privacy filming like this at an airport?

As always, very useful information! Thanks Alex.
Have a great time back in UK - look forward to seeing your videos again when you are back in Majorca
I’ve got plenty more videos going out while I’m off the island Tony - stay tuned!
So many people escaping the heat and coming to uk. Hope you had a safe seat next to the pilot this time and brought back a few bottles for me.😁🍾🍾
It's such a relief to have a break from the heat, I can't tell you!
Hopefully you have a ball in England Alex and hope you brought your raincoat and brolly😂😂

You well deserve it!!!!❤❤
Thank you!

Yes, I think there are loads of flights going out from around 9-11am, hence the busy-ness. Great to hear it's less busy later on!

Just catching up on my comments and that’s really interesting to hear . I’ve never been to Tenerife but would like to see why it’s so popular !
@@MallorcaUnderTheSun it's definitely cheaper than mallorca that's why we booked it, regret not paying that little bit more
you should take the ferry and train sometime. More interesting and adventurous
More money too! 😜. I'll be having some train content on here over the winter months so stay tuned!
more money, admittedly ! ;) cool@@MallorcaUnderTheSun
The only thing is, once through security the duty free is much more limited.
I must've been lucky the day i flew back from Palma airport. It took me 5 minutes for my main luggage and there was no cue going through security. That was around 1pm
Oh wow! That's what I've heard in another comment - after midday is much quieter!

Hi Alex, totally unrelated, but may I just ask, what do you think of Porto Cristo? Sort of considering it ......
It's a nice small port town. Check out my video here. th-cam.com/video/fLNTjJfqfrY/w-d-xo.html
Hi Alex, great video, presented it well. On that basis looking to go Porto Cristo next year. Thank you, André
Flying from UK 23:30 and return flight 2:30am
Oh wow, that's late, at least you can have a snooze!
Is there a place yo fill up your water bottles in the airport after you pass security?
To be totally honest, I cannot remember. I normally just get a bottle of chilled water for a Euro 10.
Can we still use boarding passes on phone instead of printing off?
Yes, I did add that in the video. So long as they are on your phone or printed, fine!
Are u originally from Bristol?
No, I grew up in a tiny town called Sherborne in Dorset!
What day did you travel?
Yesterday!
Dont want to be a spoil sport isn't photography banned in airports in Spain as it is in the UK? Also isn't it a violation of privacy filming like this at an airport?
I have some question about renting car in Alcúdia. How it works?
What's your question? I would go and talk to the car rental when you get there. They can help you.
@@MallorcaUnderTheSun I just wanted to ask if there is a deposit. And you don't have to go and ask.
