What should I know about baggage allowances on flights from Germany to Palma de Mallorca Airport?

Booking a trip to Palma de Mallorca often means flying with a mix of traditional and budget airlines, each with its own baggage rules. Economy fares on carriers like Lufthansa or Eurowings usually include one carry-on bag sized around 55x40x20 cm, staying under 8 to 10 kilograms. Checked baggage tends to be one piece weighing roughly 20 to 23 kilograms, but budget airlines such as Ryanair may only include carry-on in their basic fares, charging extra for checked bags. It’s worth double-checking because allowances can shift with seasonal demand, especially during busy times like the Sant Sebastià festival in Palma.

The main roads around Palma, including the Ma-19 leading to the airport, get busier during the high season, so traveling light is often more convenient. Many visitors connect onward via the TIB bus network or the scenic historic train to Soller, where room for luggage is best kept manageable. Extra fees can apply for oversized or heavy items, so reviewing airline baggage policies on official sites before flying prevents surprises. If you’re bringing sports gear like bicycles for cycling the Serra de Tramuntana or musical instruments, those require special attention to size and fee regulations.

As your plane touches down, having luggage that fits within limits means less hassle navigating the airport shuttle or your transfer on the Ma-13 towards popular spots like Alcudia or Pollenca. Staying informed about your airline’s baggage policy ensures a smooth start to your island adventure — whether you're heading to the white sands of Es Trenc or the mountain villages of Valldemossa and Deià.
