Airlines on the route
- Ryanair. Usually the cheapest and most frequent option, with daily flights for much of the year and a large summer schedule. Flies into Brandenburg with standard low-cost rules: one small bag free, everything else paid.
- Eurowings. Germany’s reliable mid-cost carrier, strong on this route with several weekly flights, a nicer onboard product and fares that regularly dip near low-cost levels on midweek dates.
- easyJet. Operates seasonally with competitive summer fares; check baggage totals if you’re not travelling light.
No full-service airline flies Palma–Berlin nonstop, so don’t pay extra expecting a legacy carrier — pick on price and schedule.
Airports: what to expect
Palma (PMI) is one of Europe’s busiest airports in summer. In July and August, arrive 2.5 hours before departure: security queues at gates A–D can be brutal on Saturday mornings, when half of Germany and the UK is flying home.
Berlin Brandenburg (BER) is modern, well-signed and fast to exit — 15 minutes from plane to train in quiet periods. The Airport Express (FEX), RE trains and S-Bahn lines 9 and 45 reach Berlin Hauptbahnhof in about 30 minutes for ~€4. U-Bahn lines U7 and U5 also serve the airport area, useful if you’re staying in Neukölln or Friedrichshain rather than Mitte.
First 48 hours in Berlin
If this is a weekend trip, a rough plan saves money. Day one: walk from Brandenburg Gate through Tiergarten to the Reichstag dome (free, but book the slot online weeks ahead). Afternoon in Museum Island — the Pergamon area alone eats half a day — then dinner in a Kreuzberg Markthalle. Day two: the East Side Gallery at sunrise (free, crowd-free), coffee in Prenzlauer Berg, and the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe before your flight. A 48-hour Berlin WelcomeCard covers ABC-zone transport and museum discounts and usually pays for itself.
When to fly cheap
- Bargain zone: January–March and November. €45 returns are realistic; the island is quiet but Berlin’s museums, cafés and club scene don’t hibernate.
- Shoulder sweet spot: April–May and late September–October — decent Mallorca weather and fares around €70–90.
- Expensive: July–August and around Easter, German public holidays and the Berlin Marathon (September). Book 6–8 weeks ahead or expect €130+.
Money-saving tips
- Fly Tuesday–Thursday. Weekend frequencies are packed with holiday traffic; midweek seats are the cheapest on the route.
- Book 4–8 weeks out. Low-cost carriers only get more expensive as the plane fills — this isn’t a last-minute route.
- Travel hand-luggage only. A checked bag can double a €25 each-way fare. Berlin for a weekend fits in a backpack.
- Check both directions separately. Sometimes flying out with one airline and back with another beats any single return fare — a quick TopTravelCentre search shows both.
- Consider the overnight ferry alternative (Palma–Barcelona + train) only if you have time to burn — the flight wins on every measure except novelty.
