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
Mahon airport is not all that big, but since it’s the only airport to serve Menorca, it’s pretty busy. About 20 minutes south of the city from which it takes its name, it’s set among palm trees and fir trees and lots of other trees which give it a countryside feeling. From the moment you see the “Welcome to Mahon airport” sign, it’s 5 or 10 minutes, up a long, winding, naturally tree-lined road to the terminal ... ...to your hotel/villa or to Mahon from where you can catch a bus. Go straight ahead and out of the doors in front of you, then veer left for the taxi queue. Do this as soon as possible, because there aren’t all that many cars at times, and being last in line at 1am is not nice. I know. I’ve been there.
Also on the ground floor you’ll find what they call Tourist Info, but what I call a desk with a totally monolingual guy and some ...

Advantages: Good facilities, range of shops and decent toilets Disadvantages: Too small for demand
...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 ... ...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
