Line A2 Aeroport – s'ArenalorPre-booked private transfer?

The short answer

These do not go to the same place, so price is not the comparison. The Pre-booked private transfer 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 Line A2 Aeroport – s'Arenal does not. Turns east to the beach resorts — Can Pastilla in about nine minutes, Platja de Palma, s'Arenal in 35 — and never enters Palma. For the city take the A1.

The Pre-booked private transfer is quicker: 15 min against 35 min.

Line A2 Aeroport – s'Arenal: 06:15–01:15. Pre-booked private transfer: Runs all night.

This bus does not go to Palma. It serves the resort strip east of the airport; the A1 from the same stop is the city bus.

Pay with a bank card: EUR 3.00 tapped against EUR 5.00 in cash, and less per head for companions on the same card. EMT publishes the percentages, not the euro figure.

Every 35 minutes on weekdays and every 25 at weekends, so the wait can be as long as the ride. Last bus 01:15, first 06:15.

Only for journeys starting or ending at the airport, like the A1.
