ARRIVING WELL
From Palma airport to your accommodation: planning bus and transfer
From Palma de Mallorca airport, EMT line A1 runs to the centre of Palma and the A2 towards s’Arenal. For other towns on the island, check the AeroTIB airport connections. Which connection suits you depends on your exact accommodation and your arrival time.

Palma centre, the beach area or another town?
The bus overview from airport operator Aena distinguishes between EMT city buses and intercity buses. There you’ll find the A1 and A2, plus links to the TIB airport lines. Start with the full address of your accommodation: a trip to Mallorca doesn’t automatically take you to the centre of Palma.
Our suggestion: first compare a suitable direct connection with one via Palma. Take changes, walking and luggage into account. A route that looks shorter on the map isn’t automatically the more practical way to get there.
Save three details before you land
Save your accommodation’s address, the right line and the link to the current timetable. Before your travel day, also check the notices from Aena and the transport operator. Stops can temporarily be in a different place because of building works.
- Destination: exact address and the stop from which you can reach your accommodation.
- Time: expected arrival, with a buffer for luggage and getting out of the terminal.
- Back up: another way to get there in case you can no longer make the planned connection.
Think about taxis and your return journey
Aena also publishes information on using taxis at the airport. Use the official taxi rank and sort out special requirements, such as lots of luggage or equipment you need, in advance. The linked airport page leads to the fare information; we don’t give a flat price for different destinations here.
Plan your return journey separately and allow for your airline’s guidance on when to arrive at the airport. This guide helps you choose your route. Tickets, taxis and private transfers are booked with the respective provider.
QUICK ANSWERS
Frequently asked questions
Which bus goes from the airport to the centre of Palma?
EMT line A1 connects the airport with the centre of Palma. Check the right stop for your accommodation and the current timetable via Aena or EMT Palma.
Which airport bus goes towards s’Arenal?
Aena lists EMT line A2 for the connection between the airport and s’Arenal. Whether it suits your accommodation depends on the stops and your arrival date.
Are there airport buses to other towns on Mallorca?
Yes. AeroTIB runs airport connections to other towns on the island. Check the specific line, the days it runs and the timetable for your trip directly with TIB.
How much does a transfer from Palma airport cost?
That depends on your destination, the type of transport and the fare. For buses, Aena, EMT and TIB point you to current prices; for taxis, Aena publishes its own information. You can’t derive a single price for all accommodation from that.
