Jet2 issues warning of delays for travellers heading to Spain hotspot

If you’re jetting off to Majorca for your summer holiday, airline Jet2 has issued a warning you’ll want to pay attention to.

Jet2 Holidays announced that ‘maintenance work’ is currently taking place at the resort’s only airport, the Majorca (Palma) airport. 

And, it could spell lengthy delays for travellers.

‘We are working with the airport to ensure that any disruption to your airport experience will be kept to a minimum,’ a statement on Jet2’s website reads. 

‘Due to this ongoing work you may be waiting slightly longer than normal to clear immigration in both departures and arrivals.’

The third largest airport in Spain, after Madrid and Barcelona, millions of passengers could be affected by the maintance work.

In order to help manage the situation, Jet2 have also introduced ‘Customer Helpers’ at the airport to support any travellers in need of help.

‘We thank you in advance for your patience and understanding should you experience an extended wait time, which is beyond our control,’ they added.

To make sure their passengers weren’t confused in the Spanish airport, Jet2 added: ‘All Jet2.com flights will be using check-in desks 31 to 33 and boarding for all flights will be from Module C. This information will also be displayed on the airport information screens.’

The warning comes after travellers heading to Turkey were reminded to check their passports before they travel.

If you’re a seasoned traveler, then you’ll no doubt know about the three-month rule when it comes to visiting European countries like France and Portugal — namely, that visitors must have at least three months left on their passports before they expire at the time that they’re due to leave the country.

Turkey has a similar rule – but a stricter version. From the date of arrival, international travellers must have at least 150 days — or a whopping five months — left on their passport.

‘If you are visiting Turkey, your passport must be valid for at least 150 days from the date you arrive [and] have a full blank page for entry and exit stamps,’ advice on the official Government website reads.
