IBZ · Seasonal Balearic leisure gateway with a single Aena terminal, Cap des Falcó Priority Pass lounge, and short ALSA AERO rides into town — excellent in shoulder months, punishing in peak August queues.
PMI · PMI is an efficient holiday factory with clear signage and strong bus links, but summer crowd waves, long module walks, and middling Aena lounges keep it firmly ‘solid, not special’.
