Arriving with children is easier when you decide your transport before you land. This page covers what the airport and the taxi fare sheet say, and what to arrange yourself.
Taxi rules for babies
The airport taxi fare sheet says that babies must always travel in their own seat, that bringing one is the parents' responsibility, and that the taxi may refuse to make the transfer if there is none. Do not assume a taxi at the rank has a child seat. Spanish traffic authority guidance is that child restraint systems are mandatory for minors measuring 135 cm or less. Ask the taxi or transfer provider what is arranged before you set off.

Luggage and equipment
The fare sheet says luggage is free up to 50 kg in total, with a charge above that. Surfboards, bicycles and similar items are not counted as luggage and cost EUR 10 extra per transfer. Check with the driver whether a pushchair and several suitcases will fit, and consider a larger vehicle.
The bus with children
Line 10 goes to the Mahon bus station and costs EUR 2.80 one way. The summer timetable runs later than the winter one, and a bus ride with a pushchair and bags can be hard. Check the timetable for your date on the airport page. We found no airport statement about child fares on the bus, so ask the operator.
Pre-booked transfer
When you book, give the age and weight of each child so a suitable seat can be requested, and ask for a larger vehicle if needed. The live price for your route is shown on this page. If meet-and-greet is included in your booking, follow your confirmation for the meeting point.
Journey times
From the airport, Mahon is about 18 minutes by road, Es Castell 17, Sant Lluis 15, Alaior 22, Es Migjorn Gran 33, Es Mercadal 35, Ferreries 40 and Ciutadella 51 (route estimates, not live).
Practical tips
- Keep snacks, water and a change of clothes in your hand luggage.
- Have your accommodation address saved on your phone.
- The airport information line is +34 913 211 000.
- Tell your accommodation your arrival time, as the longest journeys on the island take around an hour by road.
- If you plan to hire a car later in your stay, check the rental terms for child seats before you book.
