Line A1 Aeroport – Palma CentreorBus A1 and TIB 302 to Port d'Alcúdia, through Palma?

The short answer

These do not go to the same place, so price is not the comparison. The Line A1 Aeroport – Palma Centre reaches Plaça d'Espanya and the Estació Intermodal, the hub for the island's trains, metro and TIB coaches; the A1 goes on to Passeig Mallorca by Jaume III and Es Baluard, at the old town's western edge; the Bus A1 and TIB 302 to Port d'Alcúdia, through Palma does not. Goes to Alcúdia and Port d'Alcúdia on the north coast, changing buses in Palma — for central Palma the A1 alone is the way.

The Line A1 Aeroport – Palma Centre is quicker: 25 min against 1 h 25. The Bus A1 and TIB 302 to Port d'Alcúdia, through Palma varies between 80 and 90 minutes.

Line A1 Aeroport – Palma Centre: 05:30–03:10. Bus A1 and TIB 302 to Port d'Alcúdia, through Palma: 06:15–22:15.

Pay with a bank card, not cash. Cash is EUR 5.00; tapping a contactless card is EUR 3.00, and each additional person tapping the same card pays progressively less.

The ten-ride card, the urban single and the specific airport tickets have not been valid on any EMT bus since the end of January 2026. Anything that describes a EUR 15 bono or an airport ticket is out of date.

A resident's Tarjeta Única or Intermodal rides free in 2026, on this line too. A visitor cannot obtain one: it needs a Balearic residence document.

The A1 and A2 may only be used for journeys that start or end at the airport — "sin posibilidad de trayectos intermedios" — so this bus is no cheap hop between two city stops.

The cash ticket is "Sin Transbordo": it does not carry you onto the train, metro or TIB coach at the Estació Intermodal. EMT publishes no transfer rule for card payment either.

The last bus from the airport is 03:10 and the first 05:30, every night. From the city the last is 00:20 and the next 03:30.

EMT publishes 25 minutes to the end of the line and no time for Plaça d'Espanya, which is the sixth of nine stops.

The fare is on notice: an ordinance initially approved on 29 July 2026 would put the airport reference fare at EUR 4.50 and the cash single at EUR 3.00 once adopted and published; check EMT's tariff page.

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.
