"This is totally ridiculous"

(United Kingdom)

Not Verified | On departure from this airport we were faced with a problem regarding the disposal of my wife's three wheeled walker. At the special assistance desk I was told to take the walker to the security belt at the other end of the terminal as the one next to the special assistance desk was not to be used for TUI passengers. This is totally ridiculous. This is a long walk and having to leave my wife by herself was not a good idea as it upset her.

"member of staff was not interested"

(United Kingdom)

Not Verified | I loved our holiday to Mallorca but unfortunately may not be going back there due to an ignorant, unprofessional member of airport staff there which was enough for us to not want to experience this again. He was ushering passengers through the metal detectors. Parents were given hand gestures to send their frightened infants that were too small to understand through by themselves. There were two elderly ladies, one of which was in a wheelchair and was gestured to get out of it and walk through which she did very gingerly with no aid. Her companion was not offered any help to collapse and lift the chair on to the conveyor so I did. Our 6 year old daughter has learning/mobility issues and she was asleep in her pushchair. Even though we had a doctor's letter explaining she is disabled the member of staff was not interested and insisted (via more hand signals and pointing) she come out. He was also wanting my daughter to go through by herself which was never going to happen and my wife who was carrying her began to get quite upset until a member of security the other side beckoned her through. I do my best to speak the native language but how is it, so many residents of the island can speak some English but it conveniently escaped this miserable and rude member of airport staff that would only point! He didn't actually need to speak English to deal with the varying needs of the public with compassion and required professionalism.

"didn't think it could get worse"

(United Kingdom)

Not Verified | Well, I last went there 3 years ago, I didn't think it could get worse but it has. It's a shamble's of a airport, real bad layout, took ages for the cases to come. Then coming home was worse, it was like a cattle market trying to check in. I can honestly say I will never go back to Majorca which is a shame as it is a beautiful Island. Pity the airport lets it down.

"Poor experience"

(United Kingdom)

Not Verified | Poor experience. We travelled on 26/03/2018 and after checkin we progressed through security to find hardly any places open. The subway along with a decent restaurant was closed and the 2 bars closed as well. Definitely eat and drink before you go through to departures.

"departure was as painless as our arrival"

(United Kingdom)

Trip Verified | As frequent visitors to Majorca we are very familiar with Palma Airport and have few problems when passing through. Arrival and departure in low season can be something of an adventure, however, as major alterations take place then so UK originating flights are often sent to more remote gates. This was the case last week. Our plane had a long taxi-ing to a distant stand and the transfer bus also had an extended journey. Making our way to the arrivals hall, we walked through unfamiliar parts of the terminal. Long distances apart, there were no delays as the airport was very quiet. It was much the same in reverse for departure: quickly through security (though I was selected to have my hand luggage swabbed) but then a long walk to our gate area which seemed to be hidden behind a screened-off section being redeveloped. We then had to wait for some time at passport control until the officers in their boxes deigned to open up for business, presumably in no hurry as our flight to Liverpool was the only UK-bound flight for a while. That minor irritant apart, our departure was as painless as our arrival. The difference in activity in the airport between summer and winter seems to be increasingly greater: absolutely bustling in the former and almost deserted in the latter.

"this was the worst experience"

(United Kingdom)

Unverified | Do not use this airport if you are disabled because the organisation of the help and assistance in this airport is an utter disgrace and not fit for purpose. You cannot get any kind of portering help until you have booked in and got your bording pass, what good is that when you get off of your coach outside the doors of the airport with two people in wheelchairs, another person who can just about walk herself but couldn't possibly push anything or person and a luggage trolley with four suitcases and four hand baggage bags! When I finally got to the booking in desk, which was 10 o'clock (I arrived at the doors of the airport at 7.45 am and my flight was 10.30 am) without any assisstance whatsoever from any airport staff the computer system shut off. When we were finally booked in we then had to try to get portering help to get to the airplane and transport to get up on the airplane, the first response we got from the portering desk was you've missed your flight! With help from an english TUI rep we got them to understand that it was through no fault of ourselves that we were in this mad situation and they eventually came to their senses and actually, for the first time, since arriving at this airport, gave us some help and by the grace of god we actually got on to our plane just before take off. I have taken many flights through many different airports but I can honestly say that this was the worst experience I have ever had to endure.

"It put my mind at complete rest"

(Spain)

Unverified | I contact Palma Airport direct as I needed Special Assistance for my father and I can only give great praise to the Special Assistance team at Palma airport this morning. I was travelling with my father from Menorca to Palma at 07.05 for my father (who is 80) to be transferred to a Thomas Cook flight and then I was returning the Menorca. They took my father all the way to the boarding gate (even though he was 2 hrs early) in Terminal A with me and then returned myself to Terminal B. It put my mind at complete rest that he was going to be on the correct flight. Thank you very much.

"most awful, incompetent person"

(United Kingdom)

Unverified | My partner walks with a stick but we had not asked for special assistance as we were prepared for a long slow walk and had left time for this. However the check in girl very kindly offered him assistance. Someone came promptly and we were taken to a special assistance area. At this point a woman came to us and shouted at us that our flight was boarding and we had missed the flight and we needed 2 hours if we needed help. I pointed out that we still had 45 minutes before boarding closed but she continued shouting at us. At this point we began to walk but naturally we were very upset and felt very anxious and under pressure. When we arrived at the gate the plane for the return had not even arrived. Not only did this woman know nothing about customer service but she was absolutely rubbish at her job as she had obviously got the wrong flight despite being given the paperwork. My partner was very upset. To actually shout at us like we were naughty children was disgraceful. If you've asked for special assistance watch out for her. The most awful, incompetent person I have come across.

"staff were very nice and helpful"

(United Kingdom)

Verified Review | This is the 3rd time we have travelled to Majorca and it's always a good experience, nice and smooth, no waiting at the passport check or bag check. We had a bit of a delay but it didn't matter as they have playgrounds for older kids and a separate one for babies with lounge chairs and microwaves and rooms for breastfeeding. We lay down and watched our daughter play while waiting. The staff were very nice and helpful. I will say that it was better than UK border control, much better.

"archaic and in need of update"

(United Kingdom)

Unverified | I agree with all reviews Palma is archaic and in real need of update. I refer to the very inefficient special needs department. From arriving to departure the service was the same totally in adequate. Unlike their sister airport Malaga where their service is of great importance. To complain when I need the service is not something I relish - I only wish I didn't need it. Just think they need too address the issue as I and a number of people will not use Palma Airport again, or until this service is at least improving.
