Panicked Passengers Left OUT OF POCKET in Mallorca, Spain

[@MallorcaUnderTheSun]

Check this before you travel incase your flight gets cancelled: Your rights regarding cancelled flights in Spain: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i53Em2yGaLxrkJI. Also, I received this email from Kevin S who said: "i was left stuck in malta by ryan air they cancelled my flight home with nothing going to England for 14 days. there was no assistance in finding accommodation or a flight with a different airline. i did manage to get a flight with easy jet the following day. ryan air refused to pay compensation or incurred costs. they refused to answer my emails and when i called they hung up on me. i lodged a complaint with www.aviationadr.org.uk. they are a free uk government service and they got me £400 from ryan air. please if you have the passenger details pass this website address to them so they can get their money back you may also use this information on you website." I hope this helps!

[@carolinegoode9564]

Shame about the bad experiences at the airport during the storms. Great update as usual. Nice to see the sun out again. 😊

[@TheVigilant109]

Very good information Alex as usual. A friend of mine was caught up in the chaos. He had to get his own accommodation and flight as the carrier washed their hands off them and told them to make their own arrangements in the early hours of the morning . However it is only 20 days to PP. Best wishes, John

[@MallorcaUnderTheSun]

Shocking also John. Wishing you a safe journey though!

[@faithg9766]

I can see how anyone might accept what they are offered, they are in such a stressful situation & there is no one there to advise you. Thanks for this useful update.

Thanks Faith

[@sptvids]

I've been to Majorca for the last few years, but hearing the hate regarding tourists from the locals, I haven't booked this year and am going back to the Greek Islands. It's a shame as I love Majorca but won't be going where we're not wanted

[@MallorcaUnderTheSun]

Greeks are generally more welcoming. Good choice.

[@aprilclark3179]

Great information Alex thank you

[@MallorcaUnderTheSun]

Thanks April

[@Glyn-r]

Wow Alex, awesome job and very informative. Hope that it has put people at ease now about the weather and protests.. the airport needs to sort something out to avoid people sleeping on the floor, even if it's just sunbeds for an emergency situation, that are easily put away. Great to see the sun back again, even if it's still sticky and hot. Take care out there Alex. 😊

[@MallorcaUnderTheSun]

Thanks so much Glyn!

Tourist tax has been like that over a year in Majorca

[@robthompson819]

We are a family of 4 generations and Majorca has always been our families go to holiday destination for decades, we all had an holiday again in June 2024 in Palmanova and are seriously thinking of calling it a day and having our holidays in the UK because of one thing or another it’s not as pleasant as it has been in the past, as for the airlines EasyJet and Ryanair just to name a few, my experience of these airlines they don’t give a damn about customers no mater if you have children or not, we travelled with TUI in June and the transfer from the airport to resort was horrendous, the bus driver made us load and unload our cases on to the coach and nearly crashed the coach at on point. A holiday is supposed to be time out from our work to relax and refresh but not anymore in my opinion. I still watch your channel for the daily information and love your knowledge of the island Thanks

[@MallorcaUnderTheSun]

I am so sorry to hear this Rob and completely understand. 🤗

[@CostaBlancaView]

It's nice that you put all those updates about Mallorca on KZbin, but because of all those negative messages, there are now many British and even other nationalities who are rebooking their trip to another destination. Good for the local population who already complain about the behavior of tourists and mass tourism.

[@alexbryce3715]

Just hope the Airport pays attention for next year Alex. Shame for the people caught out with the Storm.

Last year in Sicily after Etna and forest fires no insurance neither airline helped us they told it is force majeure and we had to pay 3 nights accommodation price on our pockets at the highest season and the money we paid for travel insurance was garbage as they didn’t helped us I can relate with people who suffered Sorry to hear

[@MallorcaUnderTheSun]

They have to provide a duty of care (not compensation)...

[@cherryc177]

@@MallorcaUnderTheSun unfortunately they did not provide anything; airline company said it is force majeure airport is responsible, All inclusive highest cost insurance we paid told us that it is force majeure they can not do anything, because at the same time etna erupted palermo mondello forest fires started airports closed etc We were All Alone for 4 days Spent unplanned and unnecessary at least 700 euros and nobody made any compensation or provide any accommodation Because of all unfortunate events Sicily is last place to go again for us they left us alone Mallorca seems far better and more developed and your KZbin channel is really helpful and trustable and supportive for everyone in Mallorca

[@chrisblackpool3758]

Been to Magaluf/Palma nova many times over the years. I’m afraid that dog owner is the very last straw. The authorities obviously don’t make any effort to deter people like him. The beach being dumped on is a perfect metaphor for UK tourists and how they are viewed. Good on the dog owner for brazenly showing his attitude. It has to be time to go somewhere more welcoming now. Goodbye Mallorca,it was great while it lasted. Thank you dog man.

Woah! I HAVE to book special assistance due to an invisible illness which goes through the tour operator. It is up to the individual to state what assistance they need and discuss with the operator but please do not tell people with invisible illnesses NOT to book when it’s a lifeline to many. Just maybe make it clear that those who don’t specifically need mobility assistance l should let the staff at the airport know they can walk and don’t need to be wheeled through therefore easing a bit of pressure.

[@MallorcaUnderTheSun]

Fair point, sorry about that. Just I've heard people book it when it's not really needed.

Hi, I’ve seen some of your videos but can’t find what i wanted. Is there a little village with not many tourists or at least with no majority of English tourists? Something more Spanish or with more diversity for a couple in their 40s. I thought camp de mar would be the type of place I was looking for but i didn’t like it. All your videos are very informative! Thank you! 💯

There is no coastal place that isn't touristy, although try the south coast - maybe Cala Santanyi, or maybe Sant Elm.
