Bus A1 and TIB 302 to Port d'Alcúdia, through PalmaorPre-booked private transfer?

Two buses and two tickets: the A1 to Plaça d'Espanya, then the 302 from the Estació Intermodal below the square. Pay both with a contactless bank card: EUR 8.40 in all, against EUR 14.00 in cash.

From 27 March to 31 October the A32 runs straight from the airport to Alcúdia for EUR 8.10; this is the way the rest of the year.

On a TIB bus, tap your card again when you get off: without it TIB charges EUR 0.30 more per person.

Last winter TIB also ran a direct A33 from 1 November; on 19 October 2026 it had published no A33 timetable for this winter, so it is not priced here.
