What is the cost of public transport from Palma airport to popular destinations on the island?

Tracking down a red TIB bus timetable at Palma de Mallorca airport can save you both time and money, especially if you’re heading out to towns like Alcudia, Pollenca, or the beaches of Cala Mondrago. Tickets for the public bus from the airport to Palma city centre are modestly priced and generally cheaper than taxis. For journeys to farther spots along the Ma-13 or Ma-19—such as Sóller or Manacor—prices go up but remain reasonable compared to car hire or private transfers.

The integrated TIB network offers single-ride tickets as well as T-cards, which give you discounted multiple rides across different routes, handy if you plan on taking the train to Sóller or exploring the Tramuntana via bus. Keep in mind that the Palma metro line links the airport to the city in a straightforward, budget-friendly way, with regular departures and tickets that usually include the option to transfer to buses.

While taxi services are convenient, especially if carrying luggage or arriving late at night, fares can be significantly higher. Checking the official TIB website or the Palma metro schedules before you arrive is recommended for the latest fare info and any seasonal changes. Most tourists find public transport from the airport to be an affordable, practical start to exploring the smaller villages, secluded coves like Cala Llombards, or the island’s vines in Binissalem.
