Flying to Palma — what to know

Palma is a short-haul destination from the UK, suited to a beach trip with mallorca and sun alongside. The 2h 18m flight from London makes it a realistic long weekend option, with regional UK airports — Manchester, Edinburgh, Birmingham — adding direct service on the busier routes. Fares sit in the mid-priced bracket on this corridor, with one-way prices from £80 when you catch the right week.

January typically delivers the cheapest fares (around £84 return on average), with prices climbing through August when seasonal demand peaks (£208+). On the ground, Euro (EUR) is the local currency and Spanish the dominant language — English coverage is solid in tourist quarters and at the airport. Visa: ETIAS required from 2025 — UK passport holders enter visa-free for short stays once authorisation is granted. 4–6 weeks ahead is usually the sweet spot for short-haul European routes; last-minute bookings on this route can run two to three times the cheapest fare we see.
