[@fatboyslim3550]

Great video Alex 👍🇪🇸

[@MallorcaUnderTheSun]

Thanks Ian!

[@tillysanders2593]

Personally I never use insect repellents as they contain highly toxic carcinegens . There are more natural alternatives to pesticides like Citronella , Eucolyptus , Peppermunt etc. Interesting video , thanks

[@MallorcaUnderTheSun]

My daugther has said this and she has an app on her phone that will tell you the toxins... .she literally said what did you buy that for!.... We rarely wear mossie repellant because we just can't wear it every day for those reasons, but I do keep it with me incase we're out and they are buzzing.

[@wideawakerealist2141]

I’ve heard garlic …which fortunately can be taken in capsule form…isn’t popular with mozzies either, all these lotions and sprays are even more toxic in the US, where they have mozzies we’ve never even heard of in Europe, but visiting my daughter in Florida, I always go in March , when it’s pretty mozzie free as I don’t fancy letting those chemicals soak into my skin, same with Spain, very pleasant when it’s officially still, or just about to be, low season too…and no security delays either at airports . .

[@naomimillar8730]

Ok​@@wideawakerealist2141

[@tillysanders2593]

I live in Toronto , we get our fair share of mosquitos & black flies in summer but I havent used those pesteicide products since the 90's . Suncsreens also contain harmful chemicals. Just prefer not rubbing these chemicals into the skin where they are absorbed into the bloodstream .

[@Julian-ck6lf]

I came over last weekend and was fast little bizarre doing the e gate then a manual stamp that should change with ETIAS when it finally gets implemented 😊great video enjoy your content and the McMaster stuff your doing now is brill.

[@MallorcaUnderTheSun]

Thanks Julian!

[@margaretfrost9065]

Brilliant. Glad the walk is not so far this year.😊 thanks for the update Alex.

[@MallorcaUnderTheSun]

You're welcome Margaret!

[@dianeleahy3345]

You were very lucky to fly out on time, well done. Thanks Alex.

[@MallorcaUnderTheSun]

Thank goodness!

[@tommymoffat5633]

Super cool video Alex. That looks like the new glass walkway that everyone mentioned in the airport. What a difference. Also great news your flight went on time

[@MallorcaUnderTheSun]

Thanks Tommy - I have to say the rennovations are a big improvement!

[@Glyn-r]

Im happy you got back safely and the storm didn't follow you. Airport seems a breeze though 😂. Thanks for your videos today. I was busy but still watching. Enjoy the sun and remember the mozzie repellent. 🌞🌞🌞🌞

[@MallorcaUnderTheSun]

Haha! Bless you Glyn, thanks for watching as always!

[@supernez3685]

Iv booked this very trip! Looking forward to it! Wicked tune by the way at 8:00 👍

[@nightrider8908]

They don't check passports at Palma de Mallorca airport for people flying in from Helsinki. The same happens at Rhodes.

[@carolinegoode9564]

Great that your flight was on time & you got through the airport in Palma quickly. Shame about your fridge disaster, not a great homecoming. 😬

[@MallorcaUnderTheSun]

Honestly, I'm gutted - it has lots of homemade frozen ready meals for days I can't be bothered to cook...now I have to start over... .😫

[@mrtraveller6225]

Landed 9pm Friday and the press are 120% correct. Absolute chaos if you had kids. E-gates open for adult only parties, then they kept randomly closing them and making everyone join the same queue. I have no idea why they kept doing this, especially when they only had 2 stampers on passport control.

[@TravelonlineWalk]

We cant wait go to Cala Bona Back

[@iainwebster4727]

Im guessing the long ques at passport control are afternoon and weekend when more flights land, I would suggest first fligts in

[@derekmcginn4183]

Hi Alex, did you get to Palma ok despite Storm Kathleen? I'm flying to Palma at the end of next month from Dublin Ireland.

[@MallorcaUnderTheSun]

You will have a brilliant time Steve!

[@mikepowell9326]

[@sunshine-bs2jx]

Storm continues 😢

[@MallorcaUnderTheSun]

I'm really sorry to hear Gloria!

[@phonepower66]

Very useful video , as all your videos are . If that was your daughter carrying the heavy haversack on her back .. maybe use both straps ,before you get a bad back ….

[@MallorcaUnderTheSun]

Good point!

[@jameskeeth4037]

Nothing open !!! Through the gate

[@MallorcaUnderTheSun]

Loads is open... which side?

[@Thatcatshaft]

Hi Alex great video. I have a question though, i have heard some people say that if you are autistic you can get ahead in queues? Is this even correct for england as i cant see it being the case in spain either?

[@MallorcaUnderTheSun]

That is a great question. Honest answer is I don't know - I don't think so, but I'm going to find out for you. It may take a couple of days to get a reply from the airport so bare with me.

[@Thatcatshaft]

@MallorcaUnderTheSun thank you so much! I am autistic but according to pretty much everyone I've met they don't believe I am because I don't look it. So this makes it extra hard for people to understand that airports are super stressful for me. I'm going in June with my fiance!

[@FIFLAN6]

Gonilla ow Illetas

[@theEisbaer360]

Ok... but, only German Tourists i hear or?

[@FIFLAN6]

Soon gomilla or Illetas????

[@MallorcaUnderTheSun]

ha!
