AD PLACEMENT — CONTEXTUAL
All operations run through one large terminal divided into modules (A, B, C, D) connected by long indoor corridors, so most passengers simply walk between gates. Some low-cost and charter flights use remote stands requiring an apron bus, which adds time; passengers switching between Schengen and non-Schengen flights must also pass through a passport control checkpoint located between modules.

Schengen-to-Schengen: 40 min. Schengen-to-Non-Schengen: 50 min. Non-Schengen-to-Schengen: 50 min. Non-Schengen-to-Non-Schengen: 45 min. These are the shortest layovers airlines will sell at Palma De Mallorca.

Is PMI easy to connect through?

Palma de Mallorca's single-terminal design keeps connections relatively simple, but the airport is one of Europe's busiest seasonal leisure hubs, with massive summer charter and low-cost traffic that strains security and gate walking distances. Since PMI serves both Schengen and non-Schengen destinations (notably the UK and Scandinavia), many connections require a passport/border control crossing even though everything happens within the same terminal building. All operations run through one large terminal divided into modules (A, B, C, D) connected by long indoor corridors, so most passengers simply walk between gates. Some low-cost and charter flights use remote stands requiring an apron bus, which adds time; passengers switching between Schengen and non-Schengen flights must also pass through a passport control checkpoint located between modules.
