Cheap holidays and trips to Cala En Bosch

BY PLANE

With over 2.5 million passengers registred in 2013, Menorca Airport (MAH) is the island's main connecting point with the outside, especially with international tourism. Located 5 km from Mahón, the island's capital, it is well connected with the main European airports.

During low season the options to fly are very diverse and the majority of flights come from Madrid, Barcelona and Palma de Mallorca. During the summer months there are more flights available. Most passengers come from Spain, United Kingdom and Italy.

There is a bus stop and a taxi stop at Mahón Airport.

 

Public Bus

Bus number 10 connects the airport with the Mahón bus station. From the station there are several buses that connect with the city and other towns. Bus stop at the airport: Terminal. Floor 0. Arrvials

 

Taxi Stop

There is a taxi stop in the passenger terminal (Floor 0. Arrivals.) Ask for an invoice in case of any further complaints.

 

Car Hire

The best way to get to know the island is to hire a car at the airport. Even though there is an excellent bus network that connects the main cities (Mahón and Ciutadellla) with the most important tourist centres, the best way to move around is by car. The prices are higher during high season.
