Menorca, is, in my opinion the nicest of the balearics. Its a really nice little place, especially the west of the island away from mahon where it is much quieter. The towns of Ciutadella and Mahon are great places to visit, but to get to this island you are most likely to fly. And this is your problem. Menorca has seen something like a 5 fold increase of passengers since the airport terminal was built, so simply there is not enough check in desks, gates, room in departure lounge or places on the tarmac. I have flown from this airport twice and i have entertained 7 hour delays both times, the flight in the gate next to ours(to stanstead) was delayed for 13 hours. Good thing the place is air conditioned and has some nice boutiques, but still, this airport needs to expand to cope with summer season demand. In fact the airport has a Bureau de Change, ATMs(24hr), banking facilities, a tourist info office, jewellers, car hire outlets including alamo, Hertz and Avis. Car parking is available and the airport should satisfy all those who are disabled with facilities built for them. Travel is fairly limited, but a bus service to Mahon operates on a limited service and it is fairly easy to get a taxi to wherever you want on the island Airlines fly regularly in summer season, and flights are easy to find with First Choice, Monarch, Thomson and Thomas Cook flying regularly. You may have a bit more trouble out of season, but you should find flights with these operators fairly easily. Even when you can't a connection in barcelona should suffice. People always see airports as simple gateways to another place, unfortunately, if you fly to Mahon, you may be at the airport much longer than you expect.

Advantages: Air conditioned and with a surprising range of facilities for such a small place Disadvantages: Quite a way from the most popular resorts - Forcat and Bosch
