Compare Majorca flights

Shopping around for cheap Majorca flights is simple – this is one of the Mediterranean’s most popular destinations, particularly among Brits, so the choice is enormous. Many UK airports have direct flights to Son Sant Joan Airport in Palma, the island’s capital, with a particularly wide selection of flights during the summer months.

Majorca itself is the largest of the Balearic Islands, sitting a little way off the east coast of Spain. You already know about its lovely beaches, but it also offers a picturesque interior and many layers of fascinating ancient history – not to mention fabulous food and wine.

Majorca isn't an expensive place to fly to, but prices do reflect its popularity as a summer destination, and are at their highest during July and August. Fierce competition prevents them rising too high, however, and a number of low-cost airlines are in the market too, including Norwegian and easyJet. Flying midweek, or choosing early or late departures, can help push the price down further.

If you’re not restricted to school holidays, try the cheaper shoulder seasons of spring and autumn. The weather is still very pleasant – regularly hitting the mid-twenties – and there are far fewer tourists.

The average non-stop flight between the UK and Majorca takes between 2 hours 15 minutes and 2 hours 55 minutes, with airports in the south getting the shortest flight times. Flights with stops vary from 4 hours 10 minutes to over 10 hours, but they rarely offer savings on direct flights.

Many visitors to Majorca are lured by the thought of a classic sun, sea and sand escape, and there’s no doubt that Majorca’s beaches are one of its prime attractions. If it’s an all-inclusive beachfront resort you’re looking for, consider Playa de Muro: 6km (3.7 miles) of golden sand on the north coast. For a hidden beach frequented by locals, try Cala Llombards, a pine-fringed stretch of sand on the southeast coast. See our Majorca holiday page to explore the options and search for package deals.

Inland, Majorca boasts superb hiking in the Tramuntana Mountains, while the capital city of Palma has some fine restaurants and historic buildings, including its soaring Gothic cathedral. If you're keen to explore, hire a car from the airport – that way you won’t have to choose between city, countryside and beach.
