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.

Do not confuse EES with ETIAS — the online authorisation is still not open to apply. ## Day-of Travel Support ## Logistical handoff — ground transit Definitive pick-up zones for Uber, Bolt, Grab, and Careem — plus taxi ranks and international handoffs for UK travellers connecting to serviced apartments abroad. | Service | Terminal | Pick-up location | Walk time | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Uber | Main terminal | Signed pick-up zone landside | 5 min | | Taxi | Official taxi rank | | | **International handoff:** UK's busiest Spain leisure airport in summer. ## Useful tools at PMI — transit, lounges & claims Flying through Palma de Mallorca Airport?
