RE: Viewing at Palma
Just one tip... go to your gate plenty of time before your flight is called! It's a big airport... and my flight got called... then last called 2 minutes later... and I still had a long walk to get to the gate!! I made it... JUST!! When you're down by the departure gates, there should be some good vantage points overlooking parked aircraft.

RE: Viewing at Palma
I am also going to Majorca in a few months and also plan to spend a day @ Palma airport. I hear there are some fantastic points at the ends of 24L and 24R. I read an article in a magazine recently about viewing @ Palma and how to get there, local attitudes to spotting, local bars for refrshong those tired spotters etc.. I'll see if I can dig it out and get in touch with you Mike B.

P.s If you e-mail me with your home address I may beable to send you a photocopy of the article.

RE: Viewing at Palma
There´re lots of places around. But you´ll need to go to the peripherical road. No official viewing area at the terminal. In the good old days, you had direct view to planes, but with the new terminal, nothing at all. Dark places. Once you had boarded, you could get shots through the glass (if clean or if the sun isn´t in front of you).

RE: Viewing at Palma
As stated above, there is no official viewing area. There are two very good spots though.
I've written a guide, which you can get here:

This should give you all the info you need, if you have any questions then let me know.
