Is Palma worth a day trip?

Yes, as a short day: 6.8 hours in Palma, £393.65 for the whole day, 15 min into town each way. Enough for the centre and one paid sight; pick one, not three.

How long do you actually get in Palma?

About 6.8 hours in Palma. Landing to take-off is 9.9 hours; the trip into town and back, passport checks and the time at the airport come off that.

What does a day in Palma cost, not counting the flight?

About £32.65 a person for the day, local transport, lunch, dinner and a drink. Paid attractions are listed separately because most people do one or none, and an average that includes them is a number nobody actually pays.

Is the flight price on this page the one I will pay?

The fare shown was checked 27 October against Google Flights for this exact date and these exact flights. Fares move, so it can change before you book, and the price is not held for you.

How early do I need to be back at the airport?

Leave the city by 18:15. That allows 15 min to get back to the airport and 135 min there, including 45 min for passport checks on the way out, before the 20:45 flight home.

Will passport checks eat my day?

We allow 25 min on landing for the EU Entry/Exit System (fingerprints and a photo on your first trip) and 45 min extra on the way out. That is already taken off the 6.8 hours shown. These are estimates; queues run longer on busy days.
