Photos from the last 2 days. After checking out at 1100 and unable to get a checkout extension it was off to the dedicated viewing area about 400 yards from the hotel. A few benches and a partially covered terrace with great views of landing traffic. The viewing was cut short however by a severe rainstorm that seemed to go on forever and not letting up in its ferocity. Some of you probably saw the news about the airport being flooded and closed for 4-5 hours. Finally at around 1700 local the airport reopened and we set off slightly early for the airport having no idea if our flight was operating. Thankfully it was but the terminal area was chaotic as you can imagine. The passport hall was flooded and no e-gates were operational leaving 3 staff to process about 20 flights. The queue started in duty free and it took 1.5 hours to get through. Lucky we set off early. All in all an enjoyable 5 days spotting.

Great post, when you mention the "official viewing area",whereabouts is that located , I have always used the beach area near the airport and a street near to the airport (offsite) to take photos in the past

I said dedicated rather than official, and its probably the same spot. With benches and various viewing platforms.

Okay, cheers , I have also been over the metal motorway bridge that comes out at the biz jet ramp , did you try that area , it's like a Turkey shoot at times from that viewing point very good for the biz jets parked up

I was in Palma for a similar period. When we departed in the Sunday night there was a Qatar A340 parked up that I hadn’t seen arriving and couldn’t ID. Did you happen to see it and get a reg for it?

Sorry Andy, I didn't see the Qatar. I had no idea it was in.
