MAC Forum outdoor terrace between terminals — unique European airport amenity
Strong Star Alliance hub for UK–Central Europe, Balkans, and Middle East routings via Munich
On-time score 8.2/10 — often more reliable than Frankfurt for tight connections
Overview
Lufthansa's second hub — Senator and Business lounges, efficient Schengen connections, and among Europe's highest on-time scores.
Lufthansa Terminal 2 and Senator lounges
Terminal 2 is Lufthansa and Star Alliance's home — Senator lounges offer buffet dining, shower suites, and quiet work zones. The satellite concourse adds gates for widebody departures via underground train.
First class passengers on Lufthansa First may use the separate First Class Lounge with à la carte dining — not the standalone FCT like Frankfurt.

Highlights
UK's busiest Spain leisure airport in peak summer — Mallorca, Menorca ferry connections, and Ibiza transfers
Jet2, TUI, easyJet, Ryanair, BA, and Virgin Atlantic (seasonal) from 20+ UK airports
EES biometric checks for UK passports — leave extra landside time in peak months
Extreme peak-season congestion — arrive 2+ hours before departure; UK261 on UK-return legs
Priority Pass at Sala VIP lounges — pre-book essential July–August
Overview
The Balearics' primary airport — Europe's busiest leisure hub in summer with dense Jet2, TUI, easyJet, Ryanair, and BA schedules from across the UK. UK visitors now clear Schengen EES biometrics here.
UK leisure traffic
Palma handles more UK passengers than almost any other single Spanish airport in July–August. Jet2 and TUI package holidays land here alongside low-cost scheduled carriers.
For Ibiza, allow ferry or connecting flight time from PMI — do not assume same-airport transfers.
EES biometric border checks
Since October 2025, UK passport holders normally complete Entry/Exit System biometrics when arriving in and leaving the Schengen area. At a high-volume leisure gateway like PMI, that means more landside time than pre-Brexit stamp-and-go — especially when several inbound banks arrive together.
Use FlightLogic’s buffer checklist at /guides/eu-ees-border-checks-uk-travellers/. Do not confuse EES with ETIAS — the online authorisation is still not open to apply.
