Tickets, Luggage & Late-Night Arrivals

How Tickets & Payments Work

For Bus Line 10, buy your ticket directly from the driver using cash (Euro notes under €20) or tap your contactless credit/debit card on the bus validator. Taxis accept cards and cash.

Traveling with Suitcases

Line 10 city buses have designated luggage racks near the doors. Taxis have ample boot space for standard rolling bags.

Arriving After Midnight

Line 10 operates until approximately 23:30 or 00:30 depending on the summer month. After midnight, official taxis queue outside arrivals, though waiting lines can reach 30+ minutes during peak weekend club arrivals—pre-booking a transfer is wise.

Common Mistakes & Airport Scams to Avoid

  • Getting into illegal "pirate taxis" (*taxis piratas*) whose drivers solicit inside the arrivals hall charging €60-€80 for a €20 ride.
  • Trying to pay bus drivers with €50 or €100 banknotes—drivers legally only carry change for up to €20.
  • Not realizing Playa d'en Bossa is only 5 km away—a shared taxi between friends costs under €5 per person.
  • During peak summer party months (June to September), unlicensed "pirate taxi" drivers frequently solicit clubbers and arriving passengers inside the terminal and near luggage carousels, quoting exorbitant flat rates (€60-€100). Always use the official taxi queue outside or book licensed private shuttles.
