By Aerotib bus

The island bus network TIB runs line A32 Can Picafort – Aeroport in the summer season. From the Aeroport – Arribades stop it goes via Inca to Alcúdia (Pol·lèntia), Port d'Alcúdia, Platja d'Alcúdia, Platja de Muro and Can Picafort. In the timetable valid from 22 July to 31 October 2026, the first bus leaves the airport at 07:55 and the last at 00:05, with departures roughly every 45 to 55 minutes. The 07:55 bus reaches Alcúdia at 08:50 and Port d'Alcúdia at 08:55.

For the winter season, from 1 November, TIB lists a separate line, A33 Aeroport – Port d'Alcúdia, also via Inca and Alcúdia. Check its timetable on tib.org before you travel.

Tickets and fares

The airport to Alcúdia is a 4-hop journey in TIB's zone system, the maximum fare on the island. Paying with a contactless bank card costs €8.10 for one person. Each extra person tapped in on the same card pays less: €7.45, €6.75, €6.10 and €5.40 for the second to fifth. Tap in for every traveller when you board and tap out once for the group when you get off; if you forget to tap out, TIB charges a €0.30 penalty per person. A single ticket bought from the driver costs €13.50, cash only, with notes up to €20.

By taxi and by car

Taxis wait at the signed rank on the ground floor of the terminal, at arrivals. The fare is metered. By road it is 61 km, about 46 minutes without traffic, on the Ma-13 motorway past Inca. Traffic is heavier on summer weekends. The walled old town of Alcúdia has restricted vehicle access, so cars stop at the gates or go straight to hotels in the port area.

Where you meet the driver

Palma de Mallorca Airport has a single terminal building with arrivals on the ground floor. Your driver waits in the arrivals hall, after baggage reclaim and the customs exit, holding a sign with your name. We track your flight and you get 60 minutes of free waiting after landing.

What to choose

One or two travellers with modest bags: the A32 bus, at €8.10 each by bank card and no change on the way. Landing after the last bus at 00:05, or in winter when the timetable is thinner: a taxi or a pre-booked car. For four adults the bus costs €28.40 on one bank card, so a private transfer is worth comparing, especially with small children, car seats or several suitcases. For a group of four to eight, one van at €180 in total usually works out simpler, and it drops each party at its own hotel door.

Good to know

  • Pay by contactless bank card: the same trip costs €13.50 in cash from the driver.
  • Tap in for each person in your group, then tap out once with the same card when you get off.
  • The A32 summer timetable ends on 31 October; from 1 November the winter line is the A33.
  • Most hotels are in Port d'Alcúdia and along the bay, not inside the walled old town.
